Ahold Delhaize is partnering with Americold to build two fully-automated frozen warehouses. The new facilities are part of the company’s previously announced supply chain transformation plan to move to a fully-integrated, self-distribution model.
The plan will expand the retailer’s cold-storage space by 500,000 square feet. The facilities will be located in Plainville, Conn., which will serve Ahold Delhaize USA’s Northeast brands, and in Mountville, Pa., which will serve Ahold Delhaize USA’s Mid-Atlantic brands.
“We’re extremely proud of this new partnership with Americold and the opportunity to fully expand our cold-storage capacity as part of our current storage needs and future growth plans,” said Chris Lewis, executive vice president, supply chain for Retail Business Services, the services company for Ahold Delhaize USA, in a statement. “Americold is a leading expert in this space, and we’re confident in their abilities to build state-of-the-art facilities that will meet our needs and serve our omnichannel growth strategy.”
