NewCold, a global leader in food logistics, announced the development of an automated cold storage warehouse, the first of its kind in Romania, on Monday, November 9.<\/p>\n
The warehouse will be located in \u0218tef\u0103ne\u0219tii de Jos, Ilfov County, where NewCold purchased a nine-hectare plot of land. BCR and the EBRD will finance the automated cold storage warehouse with RON 365.6 million.<\/p>\n
“The central element of the project is a high-rise automated cold storage warehouse with approximately 70,000 pallet positions, built using NewCold’s proprietary automation technology and digital systems. The facility is under development, with its launch planned for early 2027. Once completed, it will become one of the most advanced cold storage facilities in Romania,” said Marian Predoi, NewCold Country Manager, quoted by Jurnalul de Afaceri<\/a>.<\/p>\n The new facility will allow energy consumption to be reduced by approximately half compared to conventional warehouses. It will also optimize space and operational flows through integrated digital systems, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n “Through this investment, NewCold will provide food industry producers, processors, and distributors with access to modern, fully digitalized logistics infrastructure, supporting the development of the local business ecosystem and strengthening Romania’s position as a regional logistics hub in Central and South-Eastern Europe,” BCR said in a press release.<\/p>\n The loan granted by the EBRD benefits from a partial guarantee from the European Union through the EBRD’s InvestEU programme for sustainable transition. BCR and the EBRD will also provide financing of up to RON 695.6 million for the first two phases of the project, as well as for a future expansion.<\/p>\n In the first phase, NewCold plans to build a regional logistics center with a total area of approximately 15,000 square meters, with an estimated investment value of EUR 27.8 million. This will complement the existing warehouse, which has an area of approximately 5,200 square metres.<\/p>\n The main construction in this new development phase is an automated “High-Bay” cold storage warehouse covering approximately 10,800 square meters, which will maintain an internal temperature of -28 degrees Celsius. In addition, a goods reception building and an office building were planned. NewCold’s customers throughout the region will be served from this logistics center.<\/p>\n Founded in 2012, NewCold is a global leader in food logistics, with 22 warehouses across three continents and a total capacity of more than 1.5 million pallets.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NewCold, a global leader in food logistics, announced the development of an automated cold storage warehouse, the first of its kind in Romania, on Monday, November 9.
