Spanish company Friopuerto has opened a new cold storage facility in Veracruz, Mexico.
This is Friopuerto’s first international project and has been constructed in joint venture with the Group Inversor Veracruzano (Griver), a local partner formed exclusively by customs brokers operating at the Port of Veracruz.
The facility is provided with two cold-storage chambers for chilled product and one bi-temperature cold-storage chamber for both chilled and frozen products for a total of 3,000 pallet positions. It also has seven loading docks and inspection areas for animal and vegetable origin products. With an investment of 96 million Mexican pesos (over 5 million euros), the cold store has 2,500 square meters and 15.196 cubic meters.
The Spanish company will start the construction of another cold store in 2016 in the Port of Tangiers in Morocco. In addition, Friopuerto is also studying other projects in the Iberian Peninsula, in the Maghreb and in Latin America.
