Central Ohio Is Heating Up as a Cold Storage Hub
As consumer demand accelerates and supply chains grow more complex, the cold storage industry is evolving at a rapid pace. From frozen food to pharmaceutical-grade temperature control, today’s facilities must be faster, colder, and smarter than ever before.
At the heart of this evolution? Central Ohio.
Why Central Ohio?
Central Ohio has quickly emerged as a strategic hub for cold storage development. A few key advantages are driving this momentum:
Prime Location: Within a one-day drive of 60% of the U.S. population.
Robust Infrastructure: Access to interstate highways, major rail lines, and distribution networks.
Skilled Labor Pool: A workforce experienced in logistics, manufacturing, and facility operations.
These factors are fueling investment in modern cold storage solutions—from regional distribution centers to national food processing hubs.
