Wilmington is home to the most robust COLDshare Consolidation operation in the company and one of the largest in the cold chain industry. Every day, we consolidate temperature-controlled shipments from customers across the region into full truckloads, delivering to destinations from California to Florida to the Northeast. Lower Costs: By consolidating shipments from multiple customers, we reduce linehaul, accessorial, and per-load fees. Operational Efficiency: Fewer trucks in and out means less congestion, smoother dock operations, and better throughput. Sustainability: Fewer trucks on the road = fewer emissions. It's better for your business and better for the planet. Customers don't need to coordinate warehousing and transport separately. We offer both under one roof, powered by a single team with shared goals.

The Northeast asked for more frozen space. We delivered. Post-Covid demand for frozen storage surged. Bethlehem answered. This project started as a proposal in 2021. By 2026, it will transform into 7.6 million cubic feet of frozen space, running between 0°F and -5°F. This is growth driven by need, not trend.
