FreezPak Logistics, a family business and leader in cold storage solutions, announced the opening of its new state-of-the-art cold storage facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This facility, owned and operated by FreezPak, will offer cooler and frozen temperature zones, boasting over 172,000 square feet of space. The facility is located within minutes of Packer Avenue Marine Terminal and Interstate 95.
The new location features 20 loading docks, 30 trailer parking stalls with 50 container plug-ins, and 60 car parking spaces. Situated on 7 acres of land, the cooler dock alone boasts 26,802 square feet. With a 75-foot building height for the freezer and a 30-foot building height for the cool dock, the facility is designed to meet the highest standards of efficiency and safety. FreezPak's new location will offer their one-stop-shop 4PL model, known as FreezPak Complete, providing drayage, cold storage, USDA/FDA inspections, LTL and FTL transportation services, along with many other value-added services.
"FreezPak is committed to building out a port centric national cold storage warehouse network. The grand opening of our new state-of-the-art cold storage facility in Philadelphia only solidifies that commitment,” said Dave Saoud, co-CEO of FreezPak.
With the addition of this new facility, FreezPak's robotic fleet will expand to 121 robots that can automatically store and retrieve goods.
"This highly automated facility features 30 robots that will move pallets in and out of the freezer. This achieves our objective to continue to offer superior same day and next day service," said Michael Saoud, co-CEO of FreezPak.
The facility is open and accepting product. FreezPak will be opening two more facilities in Jacksonville, Florida, and Houston, Texas, in 2024. Saoud Development, the real estate development arm of FreezPak, has been designing and constructing buildings with high-efficiency technology since 2020.
