The construction was completed by the first wholly foreign-owned company licensed to operate cold storage facility in Vietnam.

According to industry experts, the 226,500 m³ freezer is the largest single cold store in Southeast Asia.

It is also the first fully automated warehouse in Vietnam. The latest handling equipment coupled with a revolutionary warehouse management system will provide a cutting-edge facility for domestic and multinational food companies.

Robotic cranes working in the minus 200^oC environment will ensure a superior quality handling system that does not require workers in the harsh sub-zero conditions.

The 1,670 m² loading dock is also the largest of its kind in Vietnam.

Its service bays can accommodate 32 articulated lorries and the new facility will meet the need for speed, accuracy and quality.

Preferred Freezer Services, from Newark in New Jersey, is the fifth largest cold store operator in the US and the seventh largest in the world.
