Nordic Cold Chain Solutions Acquires Minus Works

Nordic Cold Chain Solutions, a provider of cold chain solutions, has successfully acquired Minus Works Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturing company specializing in sustainable cold chain products and research and development. In addition to the acquisition, Nordic Cold Chain Solutions is building a new, next-generation manufacturing facility in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, expanding operations in Reno, Nevada, and assuming control of the Minus Works facility in Long Island, New York. These developments will scale the innovative Minus Works technology and further enhance Nordic’s ability to provide sustainable cold chain solutions nationwide.

Minus Works pioneered an innovative coolant solution with compostable, leak-proof gel encapsulated in curbside recyclable paper. These eco-friendly gel packs are paired with a unique and proprietary freezing process that drastically reduces freeze time and increases supply chain flexibility while reducing the carbon footprint. Together, these technologies provide a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics in cold chain packaging, perfectly aligning with Nordic's commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Andy Bolton, CEO of Nordic Cold Chain Solutions, said: "With the acquisition of Minus Works, the new facility in Pottstown, and the expansion in Reno, Nordic is taking exciting steps in our mission to offer sustainable, high-performance cold chain solutions. This move strengthens our ability to reduce environmental impact while delivering exceptional products and services to our customers."

Ben Shore, CEO of Minus Works, stated, "Partnering with Nordic allows us to rapidly scale the innovations we've developed and meet the growing market demand. Nordic is an organization I've admired for some time, and it will be a privilege to work with this team moving forward."

With these advancements, Nordic Cold Chain Solutions continues to provide industry-leading packaging solutions, ensuring timely delivery, greater sustainability, and superior customer service.
