Dick Cold Storage held a ribbon-cutting for its new facility in Columbus, Ohio in early June. The new building, constructed by Indiana-based Tippmann Innovation, features the newest bells and whistles that are essential in one of the nation’s most unique industries. “We’re confident that our new facility will be at the cutting edge of cold storage innovation,’’ CEO Don Dick said at the groundbreaking for the new facility in July 2017.
Dick Cold Storage was forced to build the new modern structure after the fire tore through its previous location. On Friday, Aug. 19, 2016, all of the company’s employees had left for the day when the fire started around 9 p.m. More than 400 firefighters tackled the blaze at the 144,000 square foot warehouse, and their task was complicated by the facilities’ products.
