Americold Realty Trust, Inc.
One of the world's largest owners of temperature-controlled warehouses, Americold stores and moves frozen and perishable food for producers, grocery retailers, and restaurants, keeping everything from ice cream to produce at the right chill through its cold-chain network. Its roots reach back to 1903, when the Atlantic Ice & Coal Company was founded in Atlanta to sell natural ice — a business that later took the name Americold in 1997 as it grew through mergers. Fittingly for a company born in the ice trade, its early years coincided with mechanical refrigeration replacing the old practice of cutting ice from frozen lakes.
