Wared builds regional cold storage network

Keeping cool: Wared and Preferred Freezer Services see cold storage as a great opportunity.

Wared Logistics has partnered with US-based Preferred Freezer Services (PFS) to build a network of refrigerated warehouses throughout the Middle East.

Planning for the first two facilities, in Egypt’s Sixth of October City and Jeddah, has already begun. Around twelve warehouses will eventually be built.

In addition to providing cold storage services, Wared Logistics will provide refrigerated trucking, trade management and import services.

"We are pleased to be partnering with the premier provider of refrigerated services," stated Brian McHale, CEO of Wared Logistics.

"PFS has the best designs and operations, state-of-the-art systems, and a service-oriented culture. Wared brings the requisite support services -- transportation and importation. Combined, this partnership is assured of success."

PFS is based in Newark, New Jersey and operates 24 cold storage facilities throughout the USA and Asia.

"The MENA region is enjoying significant economic growth and has a substantial unsatisfied need for refrigerated services. It is a key target in our global expansion plans," said John Galiher, CEO of Preferred Freezer Services.

"We are happy to find a well-established logistics services partner in Wared to help us introduce our services into this region and to serve our multi-national customer base."
