Americold opened a new import-export cold chain facility at Port Saint John, New Brunswick, in partnership with DP World and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC). The facility offers approximately 22,000 pallet positions and is the only temperature-controlled storage site in Eastern Canada directly connected to a port without drayage. Combining cold storage, port operations, and rail services in one location, it is expected to speed up perishable cargo movement between Central/Eastern Canada and markets in Europe, South America, and Asia-Pacific. Americold CEO Rob Chambers highlighted the uniquely integrated solution, while CPKC CEO Keith Creel noted it creates a new temperature-controlled supply chain linking Atlantic Canada with markets across North America. The investment is expected to create up to 100 jobs.
