Kaufman, TX: Atlanta, GA-based Agile Cold Storage, LLC broke ground on a cold storage warehouse just east of Dallas, TX this week. Agile invests in state-of the art temperature-controlled warehouses throughout North America. Combining modern buildings, automation, and systems with a family culture, Agile has built a reputation as a superior service provider. The new 122,949 square foot multi-temp in Kaufman, TX is targeted to open at the end of this year. Agile plans to invest $61 million and bring over 70 jobs to support the domestic, export, and import markets.
“We have been looking for the right time and place to make an investment in Texas since starting the company 5 years ago and are excited to announce our project in Kaufman, TX,” said Agile President and CEO Don Schoenl. “This project would not be possible without the support of our local food manufacturing partners, the City of Kaufman and the Kaufman Economic Development Corporation. We appreciate everyone’s support and look forward to hiring our team members this fall.”
Agile’s experienced management team and best practices will allow for reliable, efficient, and flexible receiving, storage, import/export, distribution, and shipping of its customers’ products. The Kaufman facility will include frozen, refrigerated, and deep-freeze temperature zones to ensure products are maintained at the highest levels of quality in accordance with industry specifications and government regulations.
“Agile’s decision to locate in Kaufman brings the largest industrial capital investment in our city’s history. We welcome them to our community and look forward to a great relationship with them as corporate citizens,” said City of Kaufman Mayor Jeff Jordan. “This project affirms Kaufman’s competitive location for industry, especially in the food and beverage sector.”
“Our community welcomes Agile’s investment in their state-of-the-art facility that will provide good paying jobs for our citizens,” said Kaufman Economic Development Corporation Board President Charles Gillenwater. “It’s major investments like these that provide the revenue our community needs to meet the demands of our significant growth. This development will help make Kaufman an even better place to live, work and do business.”
