GMAC Logitech Refrigeration Corp., a joint venture between AC Logistics Holdings Corp. and Glacier Megafridge Inc. on Wednesday opened its new cold chain storage facility in Cagayan De Oro.
The construction of the facility in Barangay Tablon started in 2022 but is now ready to serve clients and communities, the company said.
The facility can store up to 5,348 industrial pallets, service the increasing cold storage demand of various industries in Northern Mindanao, help ensure food preservation for the community, and be a key player in the region’s economic development.
AC Logistics, a wholly owned Ayala Corp., subsidiary serves as Ayala group’s portfolio
company for logistics solutions services.
Its partnership with GMI is testament to its commitment to address the country’s need for reliable and efficient supply chain solutions that can foster food preservation and security.
“AC Logistics aims to use technology-driven supply chain solutions in addressing the country’s most pressing problems. We are sincerely proud to be partnering with Glacier Megafridge in helping our stakeholders ensure food security and preservation in Cagayan de Oro. This is only the start of a very meaningful venture and we look forward to aggressively expanding our cold chain solutions across key areas in the Philippines,” Rene Almendras, president and CEO, said.
“Glacier Megafridge, Inc. has always been committed to creating logistics solutions that address its stakeholders’ supply chain needs. Through our cold chain facilities, we ensure the quality and safety of food in different parts of the country.
We use the industry’s gold standards in building and operating our facilities. Our team is excited to use our technical expertise in providing logistics services to more clients and addressing supply chain challenges in Cagayan de Oro,” Arturo Yan, President of GMI, said.
GMI has been in the cold storage and logistics industry since 2005 with over 65,000 pallet capacity throughout the country.
As the leading cold storage service provider, the company builds and operates cold chain industrial facilities using Japanese technology for perishable meat, poultry,
aquamarine, and dairy products around Metro Manila and key emerging cities in Bicol, Panay, Bulacan and Samar.
GMI is also recognized and certified by a variety of government and professional organizations such as the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS), Department of Agriculture, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), International Finance Corp. and International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
“This joint venture is committed to aggressively grow its cold chain portfolio throughout the country as it ensures food security and preservation in the cold chain corridor,” Ayala said.
