Emergent Cold Latin America (Ecla) has inaugurated its facilities in the Dominican Republic, located within the DP World Economic Zones in the Free Trade Zone park. This marks the start of the company's operations in the country. Ecla spokespeople said the investment in the Caribbean nation should reach $40 million in the coming years.
"In addition to representing an important local investment and a support for the development of the economy of the Dominican Republic, the operation also positions the company as a hub and a strategic ally for importers and exporters throughout the Caribbean. The modern warehouse has capacity for 8,000 frozen pallets and a large antechamber for value-added operations," the company said.
Construction of the warehouse followed EDGE Advanced sustainability standards, with a focus on creating an environmentally efficient operation using ozone-friendly refrigerant gases and energy and water saving systems, reinforcing the company's commitment to sustainability.
