ANJOU, QC – The trucking company Groupe Morneau announced this week it has finalized its purchase of Total Cold Storage, located in its hometown on Anjou, QC.

Terms of the deal were not released.

Total Cold Storage offers customized services in cold storage, trichina treatment, blast freezing, inspection and more.

Its freezer storage area can accommodate nearly 16,000 pallets and its facilities span 100,000 square feet. Its entirely automated distribution center and 24-hour services allow solid flexibility on the market, according to Groupe Morneau.

“As a family company with 25 employees, Total Cold Storage is well known on different levels, such as by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which uses its facilities as a model for agencies and foreign importers,” the company said in a news release.

Groupe Morneau says it has the largest fleet of multi-temperature units in Quebec and the largest network of terminals in Eastern Canada.

“With its coverage in Quebec, Ontario and Labrador, it has a competitive advantage with its just-in-time delivery of goods,” the company said

It already offered related services to its clients, but its refrigerated storage space was limited.

Groupe Morneau is composed of Morneau Transport, Morneau Eskimo, Morneau Global, Morneau Solution and Morneau Sego.
