Reliable cold storage for food and pharmaceuticals

We take our responsibility to safeguard the safety and quality of temperature-sensitive products seriously. That’s why both of our Columbus warehouses go beyond Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) to achieve the elevated food safety and quality standards required for SQL certification.

Our Columbus facilities serve a variety of industries, including:

  • Food storage and distribution. We provide advanced frozen and refrigerated storage to  prevent bacterial growth, food spoilage, and freezer burn that can affect the shelf life and quality of your foods. Explore our food storage solutions.
  • Pharmaceutical cold chain. With temperature-controlled storage and strict quality standards, we support pharmaceutical companies requiring reliable cold storage for vaccines, biologics, and other sensitive products. Learn more about our pharmaceutical solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our Setterlin Dr. (Columbus II) facility is rail-served. Capacity is seasonally tight from August through late December, so many loads move via over-the-road reefers during peak months. For planning support, contact us.

We expect to run fairly full this year, but there is some 0°F and 35°F space available in 2025, and we anticipate additional capacity coming online in 2027 at our Roberts Rd. facility. For current openings, please contact us.

Columbus II (Setterlin Dr.) supports 0°F and 35°F programs today, with additional ranges available within our multi-room layout as needed. See our Services or contact us.

Once we receive your completed new-customer packet, we can generally have your account active within three business days. To begin, contact us and we’ll send the packet.

We don’t own trucks or employ drivers. We partner with third-party carriers who work directly with our team to load or unload at the dock. If you’d like introductions, just let us know.

We work with programs ranging from a single full truckload to 10,000+ pallets. Minimum monthly revenue applies and is tailored to the services you need. Visit Services or contact us for a quote.

Our warehouses use high-efficiency ammonia (NH₃) refrigeration paired with advanced monitoring and controls to maintain steady setpoints.

No—only temperature-controlled reefers or box trucks with dock-height decks are allowed for pickups and deliveries to protect product integrity.

Yes. We run dual systems: automated digital logging with daily third-party data capture, plus daily manual probe checks. For copies of logs, contact us.

Our Setterlin Drive (Columbus) facility is GFSI-certified today. We expect Fort Wayne West (Lincoln Parkway) to achieve GFSI certification by late 2025 or early 2026. Need certificates? Get in touch.
