Wavepoint 3PL, an expanding provider of single-source supply chain solutions, announced the acquisition of Alcor Cold Storage, Erie, Pennsylvania. Alcor strengthens Wavepoint’s position as a growing player in the 3PL space, adding more than 2 million cu. ft. of temperature-controlled refrigerated and frozen space, with deep-frozen capabilities to -15oF.
Alcor is well known throughout the Northeast US for traditional temperature-controlled storage, with a growing portfolio of complex final mile services, including e-commerce, store door delivery, and foodservice redistribution, according to a company statement.
“We have partnered with Alcor in the past with clients looking for single-source accountability in both frozen and ambient product storage and distribution,” Kirk Hill, president of Wavepoint 3PL said. “The Alcor team shares our vision of client-centric fluid logistics; joining forces, so to speak, came naturally. Wavepoint’s breadth of refrigerated transportation and food-grade facilities will create a much needed, quality-driven pipeline for consolidation programs, national distribution, and value-added services for food growers, processors, and virtual kitchens. We are excited about the future.”
