Cold storage is vital in the Gulf where summer temperatures can hit 50 degrees Celsius. Absolute temperature integrity throughout the supply chain is required to ensure the safety and freshness of perishables coming into the region.

It is a specialist application which requires a detailed knowledge of materials, particularly climatic effect on the various components of protective panels.

Distribution and Storage centres are all too aware of the potentially disastrous effects of ‘getting it wrong’ and that is why major players such as the Gulf Agency Company insist on only the safest hands for all their cold store projects.
