Preferred Freezer Services
Plans More Facilities in China

Chatham, New Jersey, USA-headquartered Preferred Freezer Services (PFS) has major plans for further expansion in China. Construction of new facilities at 14 locations is being considered, as it aims to take advantage of projected growth in the nation’s food industry.

According to a recently published report from McKinsey Global Institute, nine of the ten urban areas in the world that will experience the highest GDP growth from 2007 to 2025 are in China. Given the PRC’s forecasted economic growth figures, there is an increasing demand for safe handling and overall higher food quality. That includes both the import and export of frozen convenience foods.

John J. Galiher, president and chief executive officer of Preferred Freezer Services, has targeted sites and begun planning and development of modern, energy efficient temperature-controlled warehouses within the country. Sites include Beijing, Tianjin, Shenzhen and Shanghai. Currently, two fully-automated PFS facilities in Shanghai are near completion in Lingang Logistics Park and Wai Gao Qiao.
