Our History

1960s

In 1966, we opened our first warehouse in Auburndale, Florida. Approximately 50,000 square feet, the warehouse was built to support our expanding trucking operations. One year later, Commercial Cold Storage was incorporated and the first refrigerated facility, totaling 80,000 square feet, was constructed in Auburndale.

1980s

In the 80s we were hard at work expanding our facilities. We added a fourth and fifth facility in Auburndale, Florida, totaling more than 200,000 square feet. We also constructed 2 refrigerated facilities, totaling 115,000 square feet.

1990's

In the 90s, we opened our fifth dry warehouse in Winter Haven, FL, totaling 150,000 square feet. We also had a merger: Commercial Cold Storage—which included two facilities totaling in excess of 6.5 million cubic feet of convertible freezer space designed to serve the Florida citrus industry—joined forces with CWI Logistics, Inc. Together, they became CWI Logistics.

We now operate in excess of 1.6 million square feet of multi-temperature warehouse capacity in the state of Florida. Also, the Winter Haven dry warehouse facility was expanded by an additional 100,000 square feet (nearly 2 football fields).
