ABOUT
In 2015, Jack Kelly (founder), recognized the need for additional cold storage within Atlantic Canada. After a year of researching the industry and scouting out locations, the decision was made to build a facility. In May 2018, Kelcold Refrigerated Warehouse & Logistics Inc. opened its doors for business. With 100,000 square feet of cold storage space in a state-of-the-art facility, Kelcold was the only facility in Atlantic Canada to offer 3rd party cold storage and refrigerated trucking solutions under one roof. Kelcold has continued to grow ever since opening its doors. In 2020, an additional 30,000 square feet was added to the facility.

At Kelcold, we make a daily effort to reduce the environmental impact of our business and industry. Our facility is insulated to the highest standard to reduce heat gain, and we installed high-speed roller doors at the freezer to prevent temperature loss. We also use LED motion sensor lights throughout our building to minimize energy consumption.
Moreover, we have 24/7 monitoring for temperature and refrigeration issues, and our facility is equipped with warning sensors to alert us of any potential ammonia loss. We are committed to sustainability for the future, and we continuously review and transform our business operations to contribute to a healthier planet.
