United States Cold Storage ("USCS") has celebrated the opening of its second refrigerated warehouse at Turlock, California. The 9.3-million-cubic-foot facility, known as "USCS Turlock North", is dedicated to the receipt, storage and shipping of Blue Diamond brand almond product ingredients, including a wide range of almonds, almond powders, flours and oils.
Completed in October, the facility has two rooms and 40,500 pallet positions. The location meets British Retail Consortium food safety certification standards and offers import/export services in addition to being a registered handler within the California Organic Program. The warehouse features relatively new refrigeration technology: an enclosed and temperature-controlled receiving and shipping dock with 16 doors, to ensure quality of the almond products. USCS currently has 10 California locations, including sites in nearby Sacramento, Tracy, Fresno and Bakersfield.
