CN and Congebec announce opening of Calgary cold storage facility to improve refrigerated cargo handling
Key takeaways
- CN and Congebec are opening a Calgary cold storage hub to speed the movement of refrigerated goods.
- The facility integrates cold storage, cross-docking, and last-mile services to improve efficiency.
- Faster container flows and reliable schedules will strengthen Canada’s cold chain and global competitiveness.
CN recently announced a collaboration with Congebec to develop a refrigerated storage facility at CN’s Calgary Logistics Park in Alberta. The company, which operates an integrated logistics network across North America, will enhance the handling of temperature-sensitive goods between rail and warehouse.
The facility will combine cold storage, cross-docking, transloading, and first- and last-mile services with CN’s refrigerated programs, helping reduce dwell times and keep perishable cargo moving efficiently. It will provide flexible capacity and more reliable delivery schedules, connecting producers, retailers, and logistics providers across Canada and into international markets.
“This initiative with Congebec reflects CN’s commitment to building smarter, more sustainable supply chains,” Dan Bresolin, VP of intermodal at CN, said. “This new hub will give our customers new options to move their temperature-sensitive products with greater efficiency, reliability, and reach, helping them compete in markets across North America and globally.”
Through the project, which was developed with Matthews Tribal, CN will support growth in Western Canada while addressing refrigerated logistics challenges.
