Why Ohio is Heating Up for Cold Storage and How EXXCEL Can Help

When it comes to cold storage, location matters—and Ohio is quickly becoming one of the top destinations in the U.S. for temperature-controlled facilities. With its strategic positioning, growing food industry, and cutting-edge infrastructure, the Buckeye State offers the ideal environment for businesses expanding their cold chain operations.

Why Ohio Stands Out for Cold Storage

1. Strategic Location

Ohio's central location provides unmatched access to major metropolitan markets. With proximity to cities like Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Detroit, companies can distribute products more efficiently and cost-effectively across the U.S. This logistical advantage is a game-changer for perishable goods that demand speed and consistency.

2. Thriving Food Industry

The food and beverage sector in Ohio is booming. In fact, Northeast Ohio alone supports a $3 billion food industry, fueling demand for more refrigerated and frozen storage space. New developments like Cleveland Cold Storage are paving the way for a more resilient and scalable cold chain infrastructure.

3. Advanced Facility Capabilities

Modern cold storage isn’t just about keeping products cool. Today’s facilities in Ohio are equipped with smart systems like:

• Advanced temperature and humidity controls

• Real-time inventory tracking

• Energy-efficient materials and systems
  These features not only protect perishable products but also help companies reduce operating costs and environmental impact.
