Arcadia opens Reno cold storage facility
Arcadia Cold Storage and Logistics recently opened its second Ti Cold-designed facility in the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center in Reno, Nevada.
The “state-of-the-art” facility will provide Arcadia access to key metropolitan markets in California, Nevada, Utah, and the Pacific Northwest region, serving as a hub for the company’s operations in the western United States, Ti said.
“We welcome our new customers who have placed their product and their trust with us in Reno and across our fast-growing national network,” Chris Hughes, Arcadia president and CEO, said in a news release.
“[This is] another important milestone for Arcadia and the new age of cold chain.”
Arcadia’s Reno facility is one of the first large-scale, third-party logistics cold storage facilities in the market, the companies said. With a central location on Interstate 80, major population centers in San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City are only hours away.
The fully racked warehouse has five convertible rooms with the ability to handle frozen and chilled temperatures from minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit to 40 degrees F. It also is equipped with a 60-ft.-deep refrigerated dock and doors to manage distribution and container handling services. Boasting 254,460 sq. ft. of space, the facility’s 37,260 pallet positions are situated in modern 50-ft.-clear-height rooms using an EVAPCOLD Low Charge Ammonia refrigeration system that is blast freeze ready.
“We brought the best of Ti Cold to this project, from the initial site selection to every single detail involved with construction,” said Sam Tippmann, Ti president. “Arcadia is receiving a solid, well-situated facility that will be an asset to them for decades to come.
“To create something as massive, technical, and niche as a cold storage warehouse takes experience that Ti Cold proudly offers our clients and we appreciate the trust Arcadia has shown in us to deliver not one, but two incredible facilities.”
Arcadia celebrated the opening of its Phoenix cold storage location, which also was designed and built by Ti Cold, in November.
