One more step in Emergent Cold LatAm’s consolidation in a key Central American market.

PALIN, Guatemala-Emergent Cold Latin America (Emergent Cold LatAm), the fastest-growing cold storage logistics operator in Latin America, announces the expansion of more than 5,000 frozen pallet positions in its headquarters, Palin, Guatemala.

“We have important plans for Guatemala. We will keep expanding our capacities in the current facilities, and soon we will announce new locations and expansions”

This facility features cold storage rooms and an area dedicated to value-added services. The expansion brings over 5,000 additional pallet positions for frozen products, reaching a total of around 16,000 pallet positions. It is now the biggest cold storage facility in Guatemala for controlled-temperature storage services.

Guatemala is the biggest economy and the most populated country in Central America, having direct access to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, in addition to a well-developed port system. “Guatemala is an important player in the global food trade market, and it is key to our expansion and nearshoring strategy,” pointed out David Palfenier, Emergent Cold LatAm’s chairman.
