Earlier this spring I was thrilled to attend the Refrigerated Foods Association’s (RFA) 42nd annual conference and expo in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. The conference included outstanding networking opportunities and social events, a service project, and a chance to hear from some of the best and brightest in cold foods. It was another great reminder of the industry’s dedication to feeding the world in a safe and sustainable manner.

Rebound Technologies, an advanced refrigeration equipment supplier, has commissioned the first full-scale commercial IcePoint system, now operational at Lineage Logistics’ 115,000-square-foot Colorado site.

The 207,285-square-foot cold storage facility in Springdale, Arkansas, will feature over 22,000 pallet positions.

One of the first electric vehicle hubs of its kind in the world, the project is a foundational step toward Sysco’s goal to reduce its direct emissions.

The project is set to break ground on the first phase of construction this spring and will include a 281,849 square foot temperature-controlled warehouse.

Savannah Fresh-Port Wentworth will allow Lineage to transport up to 1.4 million pounds of produce per day to people across the Southeast.

Reid Klosowsky and Bill Maroney, in partnership with NT Logistics, Inc., have co-founded an advisory group dedicated to optimizing transportation strategy to increase efficiency and reduce costs.

 Siemens is leveraging its broad technology to address the market needs for digital transformation, cybersecurity, safety and sustainability. 

With supply chains accounting for the bulk of most organizations’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, ports will play an important role in meeting future emissions reduction targets. Ports are fast-paced environments that require enough power to support fleets of vehicles, cranes, container handlers and more, continuously moving heavy loads with minimal downtime.

The office focuses on produce transportation and timely deliveries of fresh fruits and vegetables.
