DODGE CITY, Kan., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Nor-Am Cold
Storage, a public, full-service refrigerated warehouse operation,
hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of their
new state-of-the-art 148,000-square-foot facility located in
Dodge City, Kansas. "Nor-Am is an
outstanding, family-oriented company, and its cold-storage
capabilities are a critical component in the safe distribution of
the high-quality food products Kansas is known for," Governor Laura Kelly said. "Between its two locations,
the company will play an essential role in our state's efforts to
keep food on the plates of families statewide and nationwide. I am
pleased to welcome Nor-Am to another Kansas community."
This new freezing, storage and processing location, built by
Tippmann Innovation ('Ti'), a nationally recognized leader in
the construction of cold chain facilities, is the latest
expansion of Nor-Am's business. The facility is equipped with
state-of-the-art freezing equipment, high-density racking,
semi-automated pallet shuttle technology with nearly 17,000 pallet
positions, and a 50,000-square-foot processing area. "We believe
this new facility not only enhances Nor-Am's existing
food-supply-chain infrastructure, but also has a direct positive
impact on the local economy by adding approximately 90 essential
jobs to the area," said Scott
Albers, President for Nor-Am Cold Storage.
A project like this requires planning, expertise and execution,
which Nor-Am entrusted to Ti. "Over the past 20 years, Ti has
supported several projects for Nor-Am, and as a result of this
grown relationship, they knew they could count on us to do a great
job with this facility," said Sam
Tippmann, Principal at Ti. "On behalf of Ti, we couldn't be
more excited to deliver this modern facility to Nor-Am and to the
community. We know it will be efficient and effective in meeting
the market demands of Nor-Am and their customers, now and into the
future."
