Emergent Cold LatAm, a prominent provider of temperature-controlled logistics and storage services for food, announced the completion of its facility expansion in Villagran, Guanajuato. This expansion signals the company's commitment to meeting the escalating demand for high-quality temperature-controlled storage solutions in the region.

The company then solidified its position in the market by acquiring Qualianz in January 2023, establishing itself as the premier provider of temperature-controlled food storage solutions in the country.

Emergent Cold LatAm operates an extensive network of over 30 strategically positioned warehouses across Mexico, from Mexico City to Tijuana, Baja California. This expansive infrastructure boasts a staggering capacity exceeding 1 million m3 and nearly 200,000 pallet positions dedicated to refrigerated and frozen foods.
