As cold storage facilities multiply to meet skyrocketing demand for fresh food, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive essentials, so do the risks facing the workers who keep them moving. To help protect these critical crews, Ergodyne has fortified its Cold Storage Collection with a new round of gear engineered for the unforgiving environments of coolers, freezers and refrigerated warehouses.
The urgency couldn’t be higher. According to the USDA, the U.S. operates nearly 900 refrigerated warehouses with a combined capacity nearing 3 billion cubic feet— and the sector is still struggling to keep pace.
Focusing on the new gear, Claudia Weber, Product Manager, Ergodyne, informed, “Cold storage workers are an often-under-appreciated link in the modern supply chain. Without them, everyday life would grind to a halt. So, this gear isn’t just about protecting workers from the cold, it’s about helping them do their jobs better, more comfortably and making them feel valued through thoughtful design that respects their work and their worth.”
According to Weber, from exterior sizing labels that make gear easier to grab off the rack, to low-bulk 3M Thinsulate insulation that holds up to more wash cycles, these details matter. She said, “They support both the worker and the supervisor trying to outfit a team for the long haul.”
