Cold Storage Facility

Purpose-built warehouses maintaining controlled low temperatures for frozen (-18°C to -25°C) or chilled (0°C to 4°C) product storage. These facilities feature specialized insulation, industrial refrigeration systems, humidity control, proper air circulation, and loading dock designs minimizing temperature loss during transfers. Modern cold storage incorporates automation, inventory management systems, and energy efficiency measures. In South Africa, cold storage capacity is concentrated in major metros, creating geographic gaps and opportunities for independent facilities in underserved regions like Bloemfontein and George. Strategic cold storage location enables regional distribution, reduces transport costs, and provides buffer inventory for demand fluctuations.
