PermaCold Logistics has broken ground on a new frozen cold storage facility in Alabama. Designed and constructed by Ti Cold, the 120,000-square-foot (approx. 11,148-m²) facility will provide temperature-controlled storage and logistics services for manufacturers, processors and distributors.
The facility will feature approximately 17,000 pallet positions and rise approximately 50 feet (15.2 m) tall. It is being developed to provide high-capacity frozen storage and logistics services to customers in Albertville and the surrounding Southeast market.
The project is located in a region with poultry and food manufacturing industries. Its design incorporates specialized construction requirements for frozen food storage and distribution operations.
The development team includes JPMorgan Chase, BHM Bank, Alabama Farm Credit, Five Points and UB Community Development, alongside PermaCold Logistics and Ti Cold. The groundbreaking marks the official start of construction.
“Albertville is an ideal location for PermaCold’s continued growth because of the strength of the food processing and manufacturing industries throughout this region,” said Mark Schultz of PermaCold Logistics. “Our goal is to give customers the capacity, flexibility and service they need from a modern cold storage partner. We are excited to invest in this community and to work alongside Ti Cold and our development partners to bring this facility to life.”
