Interstate Cold Storage (ICS), a leading frozen warehousing company, has made a major commitment to the 2022 American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI) Conference, the premier industry event for frozen food and beverage makers, industry suppliers, and logistical partners. According to Charles Betts, ICS national sales manager, ICS is sponsoring the opening night welcome reception for the conference, which runs Feb. 19-22 in Dallas, Texas.
“Part of a healthy cold storage vendor partnership is data exchange, establishing threats, opportunities, and calling out industry challenges. AFFI CON is a tremendous contributor toward our understanding of the challenges within the frozen food industry,” says Betts. “AFFI’s data is always well analyzed and includes insights that are impactful to not only our business but our customer businesses as well.”
Betts continued, “We are sensitive to the growing demand for frozen food storage at a time when our industry feels the impact of the supply chain crisis and food shortages as the current situation pushes consumers to buy more and more in this category. Interstate plans to position itself to respond to this market opportunity.”
Betts and Nick Burnham, ICS director of operations, will represent ICS at AFFI CON at Booth No. 300. Click here for more AFFI CON background information.
