Indianapolis Cold Chain 3PL for Food, CPG, and E-Commerce Brands
Progressive Logistics/PL COLD stores, picks, and ships cold, frozen, and dry products from Indianapolis. From our docks, we can reach two-thirds of North America's population within one day by truck.
Dedicated and shared space fits brands moving anything from a few pallets to full truckloads. If you're comparing 3PL partners, start with the temperature range and ship-to markets you need to cover.
Refrigerated Warehousing for Cold and Frozen Food
Moving cold or frozen product? PL Cold is where we look after it. Our refrigerated warehouse offers dedicated and shared cooler and freezer space in sanitation-certified, security-monitored facilities to meet the highest standards for our customers.
As a refrigerated 3PL, we handle receiving, storage, and outbound orders for temperature-sensitive inventory. Tell us whether your product ships frozen, chilled, or ambient, and we'll place it in the right zone.

Cold Chain Logistics Backed by 30 Years of 3PL Experience
Our team has more than 30 years of experience as a 3PL warehousing and logistics provider. As a cold chain 3PL, we start with your product, temperature range, and order profile, then build a plan around them, including whether dedicated or shared space fits your volume and how your orders should ship.
PL Cold: A Temperature-Controlled Warehouse Built for Food
Our cold-storage building covers 300,000 square feet. Operating temperatures run from -10°F to 35°F and can be adjusted to your product requirements. It includes a 75,000-square-foot cold dock, 225,000 square feet of cooler and freezer space, and an ALTA Expert Refrigeration system. We hold SQF and Organic certifications, and PL Cold is USDA- and FDA-approved.
Other features of our facility include:
Location: Indianapolis sits at the crossroads of Interstates 65, 69, 70, 74, 465, and 865, and is less crowded than larger cities.
Safety: 3-inch curbs stop forklifts from hitting racks, and synthetic cooling air, not ammonia, holds the temperature.
Efficiency: An 80-foot-deep loading dock gets a driver in and out within 30 minutes, and the nearby dry storage building allows combined pick-ups and drop-offs.
