ColdPort Inaugurates State-of-the-Art Savannah Facility with Official Ribbon Cutting

SAVANNAH, GA – November 5, 2025 – ColdPort, a premier provider of advanced cold chain infrastructure, today celebrated the official grand opening of its newest state-of-the-art cold storage facility in Savannah, Georgia. The inaugural ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by state and local government officials, key supply chain partners, and members of the Georgia Ports Authority, marking a significant enhancement to the logistics capabilities of one of the fastest-growing container ports in the United States.

The newly operational Savannah facility represents a massive capital investment in the region and introduces much-needed, highly efficient temperature-controlled capacity to the Southeastern logistics corridor. Designed specifically to handle the surging volumes of agricultural exports and imported perishable goods, the facility boasts advanced multi-temperature zones, high-velocity blast freezing capabilities, and extensive, automated cross-docking operations to ensure rapid cargo transit.

"Today, we are incredibly proud to open the doors to our Savannah facility, a project that embodies our commitment to redefining the cold chain," declared David Simpkins, Founder & CEO of ColdPort, as he addressed the attendees. "The Port of Savannah is a powerhouse of international trade, but its continued growth relies heavily on corresponding investments in specialized infrastructure. This facility is precisely that investment—a highly sophisticated node designed to ensure that the vital flow of food and perishable goods moves faster, safer, and more efficiently than ever before."

Strategically located mere miles from the port terminals, the facility is uniquely positioned to minimize drayage times and reduce the carbon footprint associated with port-side logistics. ColdPort's proprietary warehouse management system seamlessly integrates with port operations, providing real-time visibility and predictive analytics to importers, exporters, and logistics providers.

"The severe lack of modern cold storage has been a critical choke point for agricultural exporters in the Southeast," Simpkins emphasized. "Our Savannah operation directly addresses this deficit. By deploying high-density automated storage and industry-leading refrigeration technology, we are providing local producers with the reliable infrastructure they need to reach global markets, while simultaneously offering importers a highly efficient gateway to the American consumer. We are not just storing goods; we are facilitating trade and enabling economic growth."

In addition to its operational capabilities, the Savannah facility sets a new benchmark for environmental sustainability in the sector. The complex utilizes an advanced, low-charge ammonia refrigeration system designed for maximum energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The facility's design also incorporates extensive solar readiness and sophisticated water management protocols, aligning with ColdPort's aggressive corporate sustainability targets.

The opening of the Savannah facility is expected to create over a hundred permanent, high-quality jobs in the local community, ranging from advanced automated systems operators to logistics coordinators and facility management professionals. ColdPort has established partnerships with local technical colleges to ensure a steady pipeline of skilled talent for its expanding operations.

As the ribbon was cut, the first shipments of temperature-sensitive cargo were already being processed through the facility's advanced cross-docking bays, signaling the immediate operational impact of ColdPort's latest strategic asset.
