Performance Team advances U.S. Gulf cold chains with new Houston Cold Storage facility
- New site is part of national expansion targeting cold chains with more capacity and specialized services to address lack of infrastructure.
El Segundo, California USA – December 15, 2022 – press release – Performance Team introduced its newest cold chain storage facility, hosting a ribbon cutting customer reception in Houston to launch the U.S. Gulf’s newest cold chain infrastructure.
The Houston market is a high growth logistics center in need of more cold storage capacity for frozen foods and perishables that will be well-served by the company’s supply chain integrator strategy.
We have been exploring the U.S. Gulf market for cold chain opportunities – and this Houston location opportunity stood out in a strong way - for a number of reasons. The U.S. Gulf is a growing economic region – with Houston as the largest market. We can see a tremendous amount of opportunity here – where we can enhance our current business presence through our supply chain integration with Maersk, Hamburg Sud and Sealand.
Within a one day drive - customers can reach the markets of San Antonio, Dallas, Laredo, McAllen, New Orleans and Mobile. The facility with serve as a catalyst for new cold chains from America’s heartland which is a particular advantage for Central and South American imports and exports.
We want to introduce more cold chain capacity and services to make supply chains flow better. Customers are looking for more options in the frozen segment – which is primarily poultry, meat and seafood cargoes here in Houston. We are also targeting imports and exports of fresh produce/flowers, vegetables, dairy and perishables with onsite USDA inspection available.
The facility was designed using customer feedback, introducing a special 90’ refrigerated loading dock section for trucks to handle the loading and unloading of refrigerated cargoes faster, safer and at optimal temperature. Drivers can also use on-site truck parking spots with 58 refrigeration plugs available while waiting to unload.
Performance Team is investing in adding new cold chain infrastructure nationwide to serve the growing demand. In addition to this facility, the company will open a Dayton, New Jersey location this month - and construction has begun in other new sites in Charleston, South Carolina and Wilmington, North Carolina.
