Nelson-Jameson makes big investment in cold storage and logistics
Nelson-Jameson announced a significant local investment in cold storage and logistics for cultures from suppliers such as dsm-firmenich at its distribution center in Fairview, Pa. This expansion is designed for optimized operational servicing, ensuring robust inventory levels and streamlined deliveries for dairy producers across the Northeast Region.
"This investment in cold storage for cultures at our Fairview distribution center is just the beginning of our expanded culture logistics strategy," says Executive Vice President of Operations and Logistics Shawn Kitchner. "By bringing our cultures closer to our East Coast customers, we are reducing transit time and expanding our capabilities in the region."
The Fairview cold storage expansion supports Nelson-Jameson's sustainability goals. Localized shipping routes and optimized delivery days will significantly reduce the amount of dry ice needed for shipments. In addition, the company also announced in 2025 an initiative to utilize reusable shipping containers when delivering cultures in comparison to disposable containers. This pilot is being trialed in alignment with Nelson-Jameson's commitment to our Corporate Responsibility strategies.
