Americold has officially broken ground in Clearfield, Utah to expand its site located at 755 E 1700 S. This project will add 6.5 million cubic feet of temperature-controlled warehouse space to Americold’s current 11.2 million cubic foot facility on the site. Together with its Salt Lake City facility, this expansion significantly extends Americold’s market leadership within the Greater Salt Lake City Metro Area to more than 50 percent of total available capacity, triple that of its nearest local competitor.
Americold’s new building will feature ammonia-free, self-contained, refrigeration units with no engine room requirement. The system offers significant energy efficiency gains, zero water usage, and is air cooled. The new building will include a 34°F dock and adjustable temperature zones to -20°F.
Utah’s population has grown roughly 6.1 percent between 2010 and 2014, vs. overall U.S. population growth of approximately 3.1 percent, making it the fourth fastest growing state in the nation. This growth has been recognized by Americold’s customers, who are enacting their own expansion plans within the region. And, with easy access to Utah Interstates 15 and 80, Americold’s Clearfield location is well positioned for local, regional, and national distribution.
