USA News - What's happening at TransCold Distribution

New Location: San Diego

October 27, 2020

Today we announce another new location for TransCold Distribution®!

Construction on a new 9000ft² freezer with dry storage space and professional office space is expected to be complete in late Spring 2021. At that point, our National City team will transition to the new location in Poway, henceforth known as TransCold® San Diego.

We moved into our current National City location in 2015. Thanks to their hard work, NC has seen soaring growth ever since and is on track to be our largest producing US location. We are quickly outpacing the capacity of that location, so have taken action to better serve our customers.

This is TransCold®’s 3rd currently active construction project. Recent years have been a tremendous period of growth and we appreciate the customers and team that help us continue to reach higher.

Congratulations, National City team!

New Product: Kind™ Frozen Bars

June 15, 2020

Available soon in multipack form in our US markets. Kind™ has long dominated the healthy protein and granola bars, but the Kind™ Frozen Bar is the first of its … kind.

Their first flavor, Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt is a frozen, creamy nut bar made from nutrient-dense almonds, layered with smooth dark chocolate and sea salt. Both creamy and crunchy, it’s been compared to a Snickers® bar, but a healthy alternative – 4g of protein, only 10g added sugar and 190 calories per serving. Even better – the very first ingredient is Almonds!

TransCold distribution congratulates Melissa Leung, President, on the successful completion of her Executive Master of Business Administration studies. Her graduating class attended a virtual convocation to support quarantine protocols while still formally recognizing their accomplishments. Melissa has been putting in tremendous work both academically and professionally over the past 2 years to achieve this – and TransCold has been reaping the rewards. We’re very proud of her!

Melissa was appointed to the position of President on December 5, 2017 and has been with the company since its inception on December 1, 2002. She was named one of Business in Vancouver’s “Top 40 under 40” in 2010 and her drive and skillful execution of TCD plans is second to none. Her business acumen has been lifelong, having managed a Dickie Dee ice cream franchise 20 bicycles strong while still in high school. Under Leung’s leadership, TransCold has seen year over year growth in sales and built a strong operations team. She is extremely focused on the future and in bringing us to new levels of growth.
