At a time when all the pundits are exclaiming that our economy is weak with no hope on the horizon it would be easy to go into a shell and just hope fo the best and ride out this economic storm. Many companies are doing it, but Commercial Warehousing has not and will not follow-suit. We are optomistically and aggressively moving forward with great confidence. Sure, we keep a close eye on the bottom line and make sound financial decisions, but our faith in our employees, customers and future customers has allowed us to re-invest back into our company in a way that will help ensure our success both now and in the future.

We have invested heavily in the areas of new material handling equipment, information technology infrastructure, enhanced inventory control systems, RF scanning capabilities and facility upgrades to name just a few. These improvements will make us more proficient, efficient and improve the overall customer experience for all of our clients. These investments will touch all of our services whether it be warehousing, distribution, co-packaging, transportation and our assortment of additional supply chain services.

We do not believe it is a time to rest on our laurels and ride out the storm, our customers expect more from us and we will continue to deliver a high level of customer service in all aspects of our supply chain services. We believe investing in our people and our customers is one of the areas that separates us from our competition and is the right thing to do and the perfect time to do it.

In a unique arrangement, Commercial Warehousing, Inc., a full service multi-temperature third party warehousing and logistics provider, designed and built a large incubation chamber capable of maintaining product temperatures of 100⁰ Fahrenheit. Campbell Soup Company produces the V8 Fusion Brand of flavored smoothies. With each production run Campbell’s requires that a large QA sample in excess of 5,000 cases be placed in this incubation chamber for a period of approximately ten days to insure product integrity and quality. If no quality issues arise with the sample cases in the incubation environment the entire production run is then released for shipment to Cambells customers throughout the United States. In the case where there might be a quality issue with any part of the production run the individual case or cases can be further investigated to the date and time of production, and to the individual production line for further evaluation and action.

With this additional temperature controlled environment Commercial Warehousing, Inc. provides seven (7) unique storage temperature ranges from -20⁰ F for ice cream and novelties; -5⁰ F for traditional frozen products; 28⁰ F for fresh meats; 35⁰F for traditional refrigerated items; 72⁰ F for items requiring air conditioning and humidity control, and ambient for items not requiring temperature control.
