CT 02 22 11

Cloverleaf Cold Storage has completed a major expansion to its Chillicothe, Missouri, facility, increasing the building footprint by 54,000 square feet. There are now 315,000 square feet of production and warehouse space in the cold storage complex located in north central Missouri.

Some 9,000 pallet positions of convertible temperature storage were added to its storage capacity while almost 13,000 square feet of space was added to the production space utilized by Farmers Produce, an affiliate of the Sioux City, Iowa based warehouse company.

The redesign of the 38,000 square foot production facility represents a major addition to the capacity of Farmers Produce, which specializes in value added services such as custom fabrication, packaging, and tempering for the meat and poultry industries.

There are now multiple boxing and tempering lines in the facility. Water tempering capacity was also increased by 50 percent in this USDA inspected establishment. Farmers Produce operates similar facilities in Sioux City, Iowa and Napoleon, Ohio.

The Chillicothe facility, which Cloverleaf Cold Storage purchased in 2002, now has convertible temperature storage for 36,000 pallets capable of holding up to 65 million pounds of product.

Cloverleaf Cold Storage is a family owned and operated warehousing company with over 60 million cubic feet of refrigerated space located in 14 facilities in the North Central, Midwestern, and Southeastern regions. Cloverleaf is among the ten largest public refrigerated companies in the United States according to the IARW, an industry trade group.

Cloverleaf Cold Storage Co., at 500 Corporate Drive in Chillicothe is the site of a 40,000 square-foot expansion project, which has been under way since the first of November. According to plant manager Brian Anderson, the expansion on the plant’s north end will yield some much needed space for cold storage. Cloverleaf Cold Storage serves as a cold storage warehouse and freezes product for several major food companies for domestic and international use. The facility employs 70 full-time workers. Work on the project, Anderson says, is expected to be finished sometime this spring. The contractor for the project is Brown Construction, of Sioux City, Iowa. Cloverleaf has 13 facilities in the United States and is headquartered in Sioux City. The Chillicothe plant is the only Cloverleaf Cold Storage plant in Missouri.
