A total capacity of 399.6 million cubic feet was added to the Global Top 25, as a result of growth and M&A activity. IARW members currently own or operate 5.54 billion cubic feet (156.83 million cubic meters). The lists are determined by total capacity of temperature-controlled space in IARW membership. Accompanying the IARW Global Top 25 is the IARW North American Top 25 List and a list of the largest operators in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as Europe, reflecting the strength of the cold chain in both regions. The International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses (IARW), a core partner of the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), has released the association’s annual Global Top 25 List of the largest temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics members.
