Consetoga Cold Storage
everythings' cool
It started a little heated, but everything’s cool.
Frozen foods. What would we do without them? They are our saving grace for unexpected guests, and become a quick and easy dinner after a long day, with, of course, all the benefits of locked-in freshness and long shelf life.
Over the years, the SEW United Crew has witnessed many of Canada’s top food and beverage producers cook, bake and package their goods ready for distribution. If these goods were destined for the frozen food aisle, then the odds favour a quick detour through one of Conestoga Cold Storages’ warehouse and distribution facilities.
With five locations across Canada and a combined total of 42 Million cubic feet of storage, Conestoga Cold Storage has both the warehousing and distribution of cold and frozen foods down to a science.
The SEW United Crew visited Conestoga’s Mississauga facility and met with Vice President Gavin Sargeant, and Siegfried Giebat, electrical project manager, to learn more about what is involved in operating a successful high-volume cold storage operation.
In conversation with the SEW United Crew Giebat explains “Storage and distribution of cold and frozen foods is definitely on the rise—we store and ship all types of food products ranging from meats to baked goods for some of Canada’s largest food brands. With the increased demand, we are continually challenged to scale our operations without compromising the quality or service our customers expect. Our customers put a lot of trust in what we do; we are held accountable for storing and distributing goods that require special attention, and being just a few degrees off can have serious implications.”
