Dematic has been awarded an automation project for two temperature-controlled warehouses with Americold to improve efficiency for a major U.S. grocery retailer. The solution includes AS/RS, Multishuttle, and automated palletizing.

Americold has broken ground on a new 15.5 million cubic foot automated cold storage facility at its Rochelle, Illinois campus, adding 57,600 pallet positions. The facility is expected to open in December 2018 and will create up to 70 jobs.

Americold officially opened its recently purchased 260,000 sq ft temperature-controlled facility in East Point, GA. The site will serve as a distribution center for Sprouts Farmers Market and creates more than 80 jobs.
