across the Midwest
The leader in cold storage throughout the Midwest.
At Interstate Cold Storage, we focus on creating a superior customer experience. That’s why we simplify processes to ensure smooth operations, provide a healthy work environment to retain experienced staff members, and run at optimal capacity instead of overfilling our facility. Our customer-first philosophy is what makes us the leader in cold storage services throughout the Midwestern United States.

Our Cold Storage Services

Your products deserve a partner that can flex with shifting demand, rigorous quality standards, and complex distribution schedules. Interstate Cold Storage delivers a complete suite of temperature controlled services engineered for food manufacturers, distributors, and retail supply chain teams.

Multi-temperature
cold storage warehousing

We’re dedicated to providing cost-effective, reliable, and secure cold storage warehouses and distribution solutions. Our five modern temperature-controlled and fully racked facilities offer the latest refrigeration technologies. Our five modern facilities boast the latest technologies and feature multiple temperature zones:

With standard temperatures ranging from ‑15°F to 35°F (and ultra-low temperatures available upon request) you can store frozen ingredients, refrigerated finished goods, or a mix of SKUs—each in its own dedicated zone—without juggling multiple vendors.

FIFO/FEFO rotation &
lot-level traceability

Our Warehouse Management System supports both First-in, First-Out (FIFO) and First-Expired, First-Out (FEFO) rotation methods, helping you manage products by expiration date when needed.

Product quarantine &
recall holds

Place individual pallets on hold within hours of notification; our WMS blocks all movement until your QA team releases the lot.

Quick-freezing services

Lock in freshness fast with our quick-freezing and tempering services. Using a proprietary process, we reduce freezing and tempering times by up to 350%—ideal for seafood, proteins, baked goods, and export QA protocols.

USDA services

Working closely with the US Department of Agriculture, our cold storage warehouses provide USDA inspection services to help streamline the certification process, as well as off-site freezing and more.
