Cold-chain specialist moves into freight
[ October 31, 2024 // Chris Lewis ]Temperature-controlled and supply chain solutions specialist JS Davidson has expanded its offering to include freight services. By air, sea, road and rail.
Traditionally focused on temperature-controlled storage and distribution, JS Davidson has also recently expanded its services to include distribution, co-packing, and storage. Earlier this year took over GXO’s coldstore arm in Spalding warehouse with 6,500 frozen pallet spaces.
The company says that its customers are seeking integrated cold chain logistics solutions to reduce the complexity of managing multiple providers and ensure the integrity of their goods across the entire supply chain.
Over the past decade alone the retail sales value of frozen food has spiked by 50 per cent, with much of this growth occurring within the past five years.
Managing director, John Davidson, commented: “The decision to incorporate freight solutions into our growing suite of solutions has largely been driven by shifting customer attitudes, and an increasing requirement for guaranteeing product integrity across the logistics process.
“By bringing everything under one roof we’re not only reducing the hassle of dealing with multiple providers, which undoubtedly must be a frustrating and time-consuming task, but we can also give assurances that their temperature sensitive shipments are being managed with total care and precision.
“By having one point of contact, we can also reduce the risk of miscommunication and ease the complexities associated with coordinating logistics between various third-party providers. Maintaining control and visibility over the cold chain process is essential. So, by offering a one stop solution, we can also ensure that if or when problems arise along the logistics process, that they will be dealt with efficiently and quickly because we’ll be there every step of the way.”
