End-to-End Cold Chain Logistics

Cold chain warehousing is temperature-controlled storage that keeps refrigerated and frozen products within a safe, consistent temperature range from the moment they arrive until they ship out. It protects product quality, extends shelf life, and keeps food safe for consumers. CJ Logistics provides cold chain warehousing alongside temperature-controlled transportation and export consolidation, so your products stay protected across the entire supply chain.

We maintain temperature integrity with real-time monitoring and tracking across the entire cold chain — in storage and in transit. Our facilities run on Alta EXPERT Refrigeration Systems with QFM zone blast freezing, which brings products to their target temperature in as little as 24 hours, and our refrigerated transportation is monitored 24/7 with an alert system so products never drift outside their designated range.

Blast freezing is a rapid freezing method that brings products down to their target temperature much faster than conventional freezing, forming smaller ice crystals that better preserve texture, flavor, and nutritional value. At our Gainesville, GA facility, QFM zone blast freezing — the latest evolution in QuickFreeze technology — brings products to their desired temperature in 24 hours, making it an ideal fit for frozen proteins, prepared foods, and other perishables headed to retail, foodservice, or export markets.

Yes. Our cold chain operations are aligned to the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and USDA requirements, with BRCGS certification.

Yes. We support both import and export programs for temperature-controlled products, with an on-site USDA export office and inspection room at our Gainesville, GA facility. Our teams have deep experience with USDA, FDA, APHIS, and customs requirements, including poultry and egg export documentation, and we've shipped to demanding international markets like South Korea and Mexico. Paired with our freight forwarding and customs brokerage services, we can manage your cold chain from the production line all the way to overseas shelves.

Cold consolidation combines temperature-controlled shipments from multiple suppliers into single, fuller loads, which lowers per-unit transportation and storage costs. By leveraging shared capacity and volume — along with efficient scheduling and direct port access — we help you reduce costs while speeding goods to market, domestically and for export.

The average cold storage warehouse in top U.S. markets is about 31 years old, and aging facilities often mean outdated refrigeration, higher energy costs, and greater risk to your product. CJ Logistics' refrigerated and frozen warehouses were built within the last two years to modern food-grade standards, with ammonia-free systems for safer operations — so you get current technology, better efficiency, and stronger protection for your goods.
