---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated Houston, Texas). Privately-held cold storage service provider, Preferred Freezer Services (Jersey City, New Jersey), is building a new cold storage facility in Westfield, Massachusetts. The civil and site work has begun with the clearing of trees and preparing the site to pour the foundation for a new 145,293-square-foot building that will be located on acreage near Sevistar Industrial Way in Westfield, located about ten miles west of Springfield.

Plans call for having over eight million cubic feet of freezer space with 60-foot-high ceilings and storage racking encompassing multiple isles of storage. Additional building construction also includes a refrigerated dock area and a two-story office building.

The company selected Campanelli Companies (Braintree, Massachusetts) as the design-build contractor for the estimated $20 million project and construction is on a fast-track construction schedule, with an anticipated occupancy date scheduled for November of 2006.

Preferred Freezer Services was founded in 1989 from a 1.3 million cubic foot freezer warehouse in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, with 25 employees and $3.6 million in annual revenues. Today, the company operates twelve warehouses, employs over 400 people and has annual revenues exceeding $100 million. They are currently building a new facility in Newark, New Jersey and have plans for another facility in Eastern Pennsylvania that is slated to begin construction early next year.
