An Insider’s Look at the Jacksonville FlexCold Facility

Adam Baltzell and Aaron Green from the Jacksonville brokerage office recently attended the FlexCold cold storage facility tour, hosted by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP). Located near JAXPORT’s Blount Island Terminal, FlexCold opened in August of 2022 and features extended storage capabilities due to its mobile racking system. Here are Adam and Aaron’s top takeaways from the experience:

“The mobile racks were definitely cool. They also have an impressive blast freezer that can freeze a pallet in less than 24 hours. In less than 5 months they are almost at capacity and have plans to double in size by mid to late 2024.” - Adam Baltzell

“Really cool to see how everything is run especially since I’ve been in a cold storage prior to this but nothing as high tech as theirs is. One of the coolest aspects of the warehouse is they can store 45% more product by using aisles that can shift side to side instead of having them bolted on the floor in one place.” - Aaron Green
