Circana's 2024 food and beverage outlook is cautiously optimistic.

The CORE X CROWN facility will be developed in three phases, the last of which encompassing the full build, will span 450,000 square feet and provide 150 new jobs to Crown Point, Indiana.

Cold chain logistics is a tough business, with staffing crunches, supply chain shortages, increased focus on quality standards and visibility of product.  

The site features over 3 million cubic feet of space and more than 16,000 pallet positions. 

 Each features an induction heat seal for superior barrier protection, and thick, durable tabs for ease of grip – a benefit especially attractive to consumers with dexterity challenges. 

The company is the first third-party logistics (3PL) service provider in Quebec with an automated warehouse for fresh and frozen food products, one of the most advanced facilities in North America.

The company was the first in the world to create vegan cheese from plant-based milk using fermentation technology and patented processes it says creates a product nearly indistinguishable from dairy-based cheese. 

The first phase of IWI Kingman will be home to more than 30,000 pallet positions and 43 dock doors. 

The new 158,000-square-foot building also houses Emmi Roth’s new state-of-the-art conversion facility, which will cup, bag, wedge, shred, and crumble the company’s cheese products for a variety of leading brands.

The 300,000-square-foot warehouse was developed in partnership with Ambrose Property Group and built by ARCO Design/Build.
