Central Storage & Warehouse Opens New -70°F Ultra-Cold Expansion in Pleasant Prairie


PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis., July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Central Storage & Warehouse (CSW), a premier Midwest cold storage developer and operator, celebrated the grand opening of its newest ultra-cold expansion at its Pleasant Prairie facility in the Kenosha area, adding specialized storage space maintained at -70°F.

CSW leaders and construction partners tour the newly commissioned -70°F ultra-cold space at the Pleasant Prairie facility.

The project is the second expansion of CSW's ultra-cold capacity, originally built in 2016 and expanded in 2020. CSW partnered with Consolidated Construction Company (CCC) and Summit Refrigeration to design and build the new space. 

Building a -70°F environment is a specialized engineering feat. The system requires purpose-built refrigeration to hold temperatures far colder than a conventional freezer. The result expands a highly specialized capability — serving temperature-sensitive ingredients that play a critical role in the food manufacturing supply chain. The expansion was purpose-built to support continued growth in CSW's Ultra-Cold Operations.


"The expansion would not have been possible without our frontline team members and leaders living our people-first, team-based, and service-oriented values every day," said Hill Hamrick, Co-CEO of Central Storage & Warehouse.

The Pleasant Prairie expansion reflects CSW's broader strategy of growing in step with its customers — investing in new capacity and capabilities so long-term partners have room to scale with a trusted provider. The project's June 2, 2026 grand opening marks the latest milestone in that ongoing partnership.
