Celtic Cold Stores
The demand for well-located temperature-controlled cold storage facilities in the UK is being driven by a number of recent market forces such as the Covid-19 pandemic , Brexit, and the increasing popularity of online grocery shopping.
The large multi-national food companies are able to invest in their own cold storage facilities however for SME’s it is not cost-effective for them to invest in such facilities for their storage requirements.
As a result, there is a shortage of temperature-controlled facilities in the UK.
Celtic Cold Storage Limited was set up in May 2020 in order to provide temperature-controlled storage (chilled and frozen) and co-packing services mainly for the SME food sector in Wales. The company has been set up by a management team with over 60 years of experience within the UK Food Sector.
The company has a 10,000 sq ft cold storage facility in Merthyr Tydfil , with a 1000 pallet capacity, plus associated co-packing rooms.
Our customer base include large food production companies and smaller local producers, as well as supermarkets and high street stores. We specialise in niche food sector markets where we accommodate product from abroad to go into the major UK retail markets.
We are fully BRC accredited and provide stringent food sector hygiene standards. Our warehouse is protected by state of the art security equipment, providing alarms and cameras throughout the facility.
