Redefining What It Means to Lead in Cold Chain Logistics

We made a small change recently that you might not have noticed. But for us—and for our clients—it represents something much bigger.

We dropped “Development” from our name.

It’s a simple shift, but it signals a major evolution in the way we partner with cold chain businesses. At Cold Summit, we’ve always done more than develop facilities. We’ve helped clients solve complex challenges, seize new opportunities, and operate smarter across every stage of the cold chain.

Now, we’re making that role official.

Our clients have long relied on us for more than construction. From early-stage planning to long-term operations, Cold Summit offers a full suite of services designed to support every stage of your cold chain investment. These aren’t new capabilities. They’re core strengths we’ve built over decades of collective industry experience, delivering results across the U.S. and Europe. We’re simply formalizing that offering and expanding it to serve even more partners who want a true full-service relationship.

Just as importantly, we’re investing in what’s next.

Innovation has always been part of our DNA. From our proprietary technologies, like the patented ATLAS BLAST TOWER™ system, to forward-looking sustainability and automation solutions, we build with the future in mind. Our team doesn’t just keep up with the evolution of the cold chain. We help lead it.

Here’s what a Cold Summit partnership delivers:

  • Strategic Pre-Project Advisory: Before a site is selected or a floor plan is drawn, we help clients map out the best path forward. This includes detailed market and network analyses, conceptual facility design, and robust CapEx and OpEx modeling to ensure business case clarity from the start.
  • Flexible Financing & Asset Management: We work with you to structure smart, scalable financing. Whether it’s flexible debt solutions or capital planning for long-term growth, our asset management team helps maximize performance over time through proactive operational oversight and cost optimization.
  • Expert Real Estate Services: Cold Summit leads comprehensive site selection and feasibility analysis, including stakeholder coordination and entitlement navigation. We identify ideal locations that balance logistics efficiency, regulatory requirements, and long-term operational viability.
  • Design & Construction Integration: Our in-house expertise includes construction management, engineering, and value engineering. We also support seamless integration of mission-critical systems like racking, MHE, and energy-efficient technologies, including advanced proprietary platforms developed specifically for cold environments.
  • Post-Construction Staffing & Operations Support: We don’t stop when the building is done. Our team helps identify and recruit key operations personnel and advises on day-to-day facility performance. We make sure you’re set up for success from Day One.

At Cold Summit, we don’t just build facilities. We build cold chain ecosystems that perform, evolve, and lead the industry forward.

This name evolution reflects a strategic truth. In today’s fast-moving logistics landscape, clients need more than a developer. They need a partner who understands the full picture, brings fresh thinking to the table, and can execute across every stage of the journey.

Let’s reshape the future of cold chain. Together.
