(KNZA)--Nor-Am Cold Storage plans to expand their Elwood facility.
Nor-Am purchased the former Affiliated Food Group distribution center in November of last year and has been busy filling the building ever since.
The company, in a news release, said the expansion will add 41-thousand square feet of freezer space containing 8-thousand pallet locations.
Nor-Am Vice-President of Operations, Scott Albers, said there is a strong demand for increased cold storage capacity across the country, and being centrally located in the Midwest, adding space in Elwood is a natural fit.
Nor-Am currently offers freezer storage and blast freezing as well as dry and cooler storage.
Al J. Mueller Construction Company, of St. Joseph, Missouri, will serve as general contractor on the project.
The release says ground work is underway and the team at Nor-Am is looking forward to seeing full on construction begin.
The expansion is scheduled to be completed by April 1 of next year.
