Robots Will Help Store Frozen Food In New Automated Cold Storage Warehouse

One of the state’s first automated cold storage warehouses could open in Tacoma by the end of the year.

The more than $50 million project comes from a Netherlands cold storage company called NewCold. When complete, the warehouse will be one of the biggest in the country, with storage capacity at more than 25 million cubic feet, according to the company.

The warehouse, off South Orchard Street in South Tacoma, is NewCold’s first large United States project, said Jonas Swarttouw, business development manager for the company’s U.S. operations. It will be among a handful of automated cold storage warehouses in the state.
