Continuing the cold chain in Chile
Emergent Cold Latin America has completed construction work on Chile’s largest frozen food warehouse. The logistics provider will use the site to enhance its cold chain network in the region.
Located in Talcahuano, the facility enables access to a local seafood and fruit production and exports. With a storage capacity of 294,000 cbm and 37,000 pallets, it adds to Emergent Cold Latam’s existing network of now nine facilities in the country. The expansion is also set to directly generate 150 jobs.
“The increase in mackerel quotas and the growth in Coho salmon and IQF fruit production require enhanced capacity for temperature-controlled storage, perfectly aligned with this new facility,” says Joaquín Del Campo, managing director for the Pacific region at Emergent Cold Latam. The company plans to complete an expansion to this warehouse by early 2025. (mk)
