Our Story

Highly Modern. Uniquely Personal.
Strategically Located.

We are a leader in revolutionizing cold storage warehousing with end-to-end expertise.  A roll-up your sleeves group, we understand the cold chain and the ability to be flexible and respond quickly to daily challenges.  With a unique, expert-driven perspective on how to maximize efficiency, supported with our people-centric culture, we can provide customers with unparalleled flexibility to meet their cold storage challenges today, and well into the future.

Our first highly modern FlexCold location is in Jacksonville, Florida, three miles from the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT). A pallet-dense, energy efficient facility, it is cost-effective and a customer-focused alternative to aging legacy facilities. Our FLEXSPACE mobile racking system converts unused space into usage storage capacity and has increased storage capacity by 45%, compared to traditional systems.  Additionally, the deeper dock eases congestion and inefficient product moves. 

Lastly, the refrigeration system is roof-mounted, freeing valuable floor space. Overall, our optimized design connects the needs of our customers with contemporary technology that effectively increases labor productivity, decreases energy consumption, and decreases overall operational costs.
 
We are proud to be recognized by Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global cold supply chain, as one of the 2023 Top 3PL & Cold Storage Providers.  The award recognizes leading third-party logistics and cold storage providers in the cold food and beverage industry.
 
Our culture reflects the values that enable us to deliver a unique experience.  We see challenges as opportunities; question convention; pursue and persevere while having fun. Our teammates share in our success as we create enduring client relationships.
 
FlexCold is an equal-opportunity employer who believes that when diversity in experience, viewpoints, and skill sets is combined with shared values – we achieve the greatest outcomes for our organization and our customers.
