Americold acquired privately held Lanier Cold Storage for $82 million. Lanier Cold Storage consists of two temperature-controlled storage facilities, which total over 14 million ft³ and approximately 51,000 pallet positions, in Gainesville and Lula, Ga.

The acquisition will complement Americold’s existing 3.8 million ft³ refrigerated facility in Gainesville, which is considered by many to be the “poultry capital of the world.”

Atlanta-based Americold owns and operates 155 temperature-controlled warehouses in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Argentina.
