AGRO is expanding its blast freezing capabilities at its largest site in the UK.
With 172,000 pallet positions, the Whitchurch facility is AGRO’s largest cold store in the UK & Ireland region. The site also operates its own fleet of vehicles and refrigerated trailers and offers a number of value-added services, such as blast freezing, order picking, ingredient sorting and co-packing.
Paul Jukes, Managing Director at AGRO Merchants Whitchurch said: “We pride ourselves in being a full-service provider to our customers. We decided to invest in additional blast freezing infrastructure to better serve our clients and add much-needed capacity. The two additional chambers will allow us to support existing and new customers’ growth.”
AGRO strives to provide first-class, modern infrastructure, exceptional customer service and a fully-integrated network across Ireland and the UK. In addition to its Whitchurch site, the company operates five cold stores in the region (Dublin, Castleblayney, Lough Egish, Lurgan and Annesborough), with a diverse customer base across a wide variety of fresh and frozen commodities.
