Biggest cold store in SE Asia opens

Preferred Freezer Services Antara Viet Nam holds a grand opening ceremony for a large cold store in HCM City today.

Construction of the cold-storage facility was completed by the first wholly foreign-owned company licensed to operate cold stores in Viet Nam.

According to industry experts, the 226,500-cu.m freezer is the largest single room cold store in Southeast Asia. The facility began operations on April 1.

It is the first fully automated warehouse in Viet Nam. The leading-edge material handling equipment coupled with inventory warehouse management system provides a cutting-edge facility for local and multinational food companies.

Robotic cranes working in a – 200 C environment ensure superior quality handling without requiring workers in harsh sub-zero conditions.

The 1,670sq.m +5 0C loading dock is the largest of its kind in Viet Nam.

Its oversized truck yard can accommodate 32 trailer trucks. Its 16 loading dock doors equipped with electrical plugs meet customer needs for speed, accuracy and quality.

Preferred Freezer Services of Newark New Jersey is the fifth largest cold store operator in the US and the seventh largest in the world.

Preferred Freezer designs, builds and operates facilities located throughout the US. Facilities are now under construction in China. Viet Nam is Preferred Freezer’s first international operation. — VNS
