Nordic Announces Pooler, GA Facility Expansion

Nordic Cold Storage, which opened the first phase of its state-of-the-art storage and blast facility in Pooler last year, announced Tuesday the beginning of Phase Two, which will double capacity and add 135 new jobs to the 135 now in place.

Work is already underway, with completion expected in the first quarter of 2015, said Ross Maple, director of business strategy for Atlanta-based Nordic, the second largest cold-storage operator in the Southeast and the eighth largest in North America.

“We made a commitment in 2012 that Nordic was going to be in Savannah and grow here,” Maple told the board of the Savannah Economic Development Authority Tuesday. “We opened our facility a year ago this week, and now work on our second phase has begun, which will include — per Georgia Ports’ request — 75,000 square feet of cooler storage.
