Americold Realty Trust, Inc. Overview

Pro stress-test →

Americold is a global leader in temperature-controlled logistics and real estate, operating 224 facilities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America with approximately 1.4 billion refrigerated cubic feet. The company owns, operates, and develops cold storage facilities supporting perishable product storage, handling, and distribution, with integrated services including blast freezing, repacking, labeling, cross-docking, and transportation management.
