Construction of a 250,000-square foot cold-storage facility in Hamilton is underway.

Indiana-based Tippmann Innovation (TI) is leading construction of the facility for Sierra Supply Chain Services, a Hamilton company that specializes in warehousing, logistics, freezing services, and exporting produced goods.

Tippmann Innovation itself is specialty industrial cold storage builder and developer that operates across the United States.

"We have been working with TI for several years," said Sierra Supply Chain CEO Rob Vanden Broek. "Over the past year and a half, we have toured several of their recently constructed buildings and worked closely with the TI engineering team to develop the plan and design of this state-of-the-art cold storage and processing facility.”

The new building is valued at $65 million, and is located in Hamilton’s Red Hill Business Park. Upon completion, the 65-foot-tall facility will boast nearly 250,000 square feet of storage space, and 30,000 square feet of food processing space.

The building was developed with a focus on energy efficiency and advanced warehouse management.

"We are very excited to have this opportunity to continue our valued partnership with Sierra Supply Chain in support of this important project," said TI president Sam Tippmann. "This project continues the growth and expansion of our development footprint and is yet another exceptional example of market demand advancing cold chain infrastructure investment across North America.”
