World's largest temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, storing and moving frozen/refrigerated food for the cold chain.
World's largest temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, storing and moving frozen/refrigerated food for the cold chain.
Charges customers rent for each pallet position stored, often under minimum-commitment contracts, and fees for handling goods in and out, plus transport and value-added services, so occupancy and handling volumes carry results. Growth has come largely from acquiring other cold-storage operators and building near ports. Listed in 2024; Bay Grove, its original investor, is the largest owner.
Moat: narrow (scale, installed base, switching costs). Global network scale and integration into customers' cold-chain logistics create real switching costs.
Headquarters: Novi, Michigan, United States · Founded: 2008 · Employees: 24,000
