For more frozen online orders
Seafrigo Group, a provider of temperature-controlled food logistics, is opening a new dedicated facility for specialist chilled and frozen goods in New Jersey in 2022.
Already operating from four facilities in the same area, the new 26,000 sqm warehouse will provide automated capacity in order to cater to customer fulfilment requirements. Seafrigo Group will also install its own dry ice making production plant within the facility in order to maintain all frozen products at the correct temperature.
The fifth warehouse, dedicated to e-fulfilment, is especially designed to handle large throughput volumes of specialist food orders every week.
Philip Decker, Seafrigo’s VP of processing in USA: “E-commerce is a key part of our business in the Americas and the exponential growth of all types of groceries being bought on line is fuelling this expansion.”
As an approved inspection centre at the Port of NY/NJ, the Seafrigo Group can manage shipments for a range of services including drayage from/to port or, storage (chilled, frozen and ambient), lab test requested USDA, special labelling for different foreign languages and repacking to ensure freight is secure to be exported for e-commerce and other customers.
