New Cold Storage Facility in Northeast to Offer Irradiation to the Food Industry.
This irradiator will be dedicated to meet the needs of the Food Industry in the Northeast. Services provided will meet the requirements for maintaining the cold chain of all segments of the food industry including meat, poultry, fruits and vegetables, and spices, manufactures, and retailers. "This provides a unique service offering for food companies in the Northeast who wish to irradiate their food, and perishable products," said Jim Wood, President of CFC Logistics, Inc.
The GENESIS Irradiator™, designed by GRAY*STAR, Inc. of Mount Arlington, NJ, provides the customer flexibility in terms of product mix, shape, fresh or frozen, and variety in packaging. Russell Stein, designer of the GENESIS Irradiator™, says "Customers can use their standard packaging up to 24" thick, there is no requirement to redesign the shape or size of the product to be used in our irradiator." CFC Logistics selected the GENESIS Irradiator™ for its versatility, cost-effectiveness, dependability, and ease of installation.
CFC Logistics anticipates the irradiator will be fully operational by the end of June. Currently, it is actively marketing and selling its refrigerated warehouse space to customers. Customers can select from the various services offered by CFC Logistics to meet their individual needs – multi-temperature freezer/cooler, blast-freezing, shuttle services, exporting, transportation and distribution, and now irradiation. Conveniently located just off the Quakertown Exit 32 on the Northeast Extension, the facility provides superior access to the PA Turnpike, Interstates 78 and 80 with easy on/easy off access for truck drivers. It is within a 100-mile radius of major markets, cities, and the ports of Philadelphia, Wilmington, and New Jersey / New York.
CFC Logistics, Inc., is a subsidiary of the Clemens Family Corporation of Hatfield, PA, who owns Hatfield Quality Meats, Inc. of Hatfield, PA, Wild Bill Foods of Lancaster, PA, and Country View Family Farms, of Lancaster, PA. "We are pleased to help the food industry move toward a safer food supply", says Phil Clemens, Chairman and CEO of CFC.
