History of Midwest Refrigerated Transport
Midwest Refrigerated Transport had its humble beginnings in 1930 when the Pokel family started their family business as Plymouth Ice and Coal Company. It became storage for dairy products such as butter and cheese and expanded into three facilities. The next generation of Pokels took charge of the business and changed the name to Northland Cold Storage. In the succeeding 30 years, it grew into 5 facilities. The company was divided into Northland Cold Storage and Geneva Lakes Cold Storage in 1989.
Geneva Lakes Cold Storage experienced continued growth with more than 70 customers and warehouse area of over 630,000 square feet. Wisconsin Logistics was created in 1995 as a truckload carrier with over 50 truck units. Meanwhile, Alliance Development Corp. was created separately to focus on designing, building and leasing distribution facilities.
In 2003, Wisconsin Logistics and GLCS were bought by Versacold. Alliance Development Corp. was preserved. In 2006, Midwest Refrigerated Services was created to provide public refrigerated warehousing. It immediately got hold of Wispack Transport, allowing them to venture into LTL services.
At present, Midwest Refrigerated Transport is a full service 3PL entity offering multi-temperature controlled logistics.
