The acquisition expands AIT’s cold chain capabilities with a West Coast 13,000-square-foot temperature-controlled facility with distinct zones to hold frozen, refrigerated and fresh foods.
WorldFresh founder Doug Kinney has assumed the role of station manager.
Vaughn Moore, president and CEO of the Itasca, Ill.-headquartered AIT, said the acquisition “propels AIT’s cold chain operations to a new level of world-class service.”
Moore said the company “will continue evaluating other cold chain forwarders around the world for potential acquisition. Firms that handle distinct commodities with diverse service portfolios are the best fit for our cold chain business model. We are also pursuing firms with a broader logistics scope to support the company’s long-term strategic growth plan.”
