Americold Realty Trust, Inc.

Americold Realty Trust, Inc. is a global leader in temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics, operating as a real estate investment trust (REIT). Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company specializes in the ownership, operation, acquisition, and development of temperature-controlled warehouses. Its mission is to help customers feed the world by providing reliable, temperature-controlled logistics that support global food security.

Americold offers a comprehensive suite of services, including frozen and chilled storage, blast freezing, case picking, order assembly, tempering, labeling, kitting, and inventory management. Beyond warehousing, it provides transportation management, consolidation, cross-docking, and third-party managed services. The company serves a diverse B2B customer base, including food producers (CPG manufacturers, protein processors), grocery retailers, foodservice distributors, and emerging e-commerce and third-party logistics providers, with a growing presence in pharmaceutical cold chain logistics. Americold operates an extensive global network of approximately 230-245 facilities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America, encompassing around 1.4 to 1.5 billion refrigerated cubic feet.

Robert S. Chambers assumed the role of CEO and joined the board of directors on September 1, 2025. In April 2026, Americold released its 2025 Sustainability Report, detailing a 21% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions since 2021. The company is currently navigating activist pressure from Sieve Capital LLC, which has raised concerns regarding long-term performance, capital allocation, and corporate governance, urging shareholders to vote against certain directors at the upcoming May 2026 annual meeting. Despite reporting Q4 2025 results in February 2026 that indicated continued occupancy and pricing headwinds for 2026, Americold is actively pursuing deleveraging strategies and portfolio optimization to enhance profitability. Americold remains the world's second-largest owner and operator of temperature-controlled warehouses.
