Cold-Link Logistics Building 198,000-sq-foot Cold Storage Facility

Cold-Link Logistics has broken ground on a new 198,000-sq-ft cold storage facility in Ellisville, Miss. Offering nearly 27,000 pallet positions of frozen and refrigerated storage space, the state-of-the-art food-grade warehouse will utilize QFR Zone blast freezing technology, an energy-saving way of quickly freezing palletized products, with 44 QFR Zones in the freezer and 1,056 pallet positions of blast freezing capacity. Twenty-one dock doors will be used for loading and unloading trucks as they bring product into and out of the facility.

Scheduled to open in July of next year, the facility is the third Cold-Link warehouse built in the past two years. The company built and opened facilities in Holland, Mich., in 2022 and Sioux City, Iowa in 2023, and completed an expansion of the Holland facility earlier this year. All of the projects, plus the new facility in Ellisville, were designed and built by Tippmann Group, a Fort Wayne, Ind.-based company that specializes in the construction of refrigerated warehouses.

 “This project has been over a year in the making and we couldn’t be more thrilled to break ground on a state-of- the-art facility in Mississippi,” says Michael Mandich, president and founder of Cold-Link Logistics. “Doing our due diligence, we recognized a starved demand for cold storage in the area and feel that we will serve as a crucial component to the region’s food supply chain for current demand and future growth. We look forward to supporting the industry’s growth in the area and to many years of providing unmatched customer service in the great state of Mississippi.”
