Itochu Logistics (China) Cold Storage Project

Leveraging its extensive construction experience and reputation in the cold storage engineering sector, XNAIR Refrigeration was selected by Itochu Logistics as a premium supplier for its cold chai

Project Overview

Leveraging its extensive construction experience and reputation in the cold storage engineering sector, XNAIR Refrigeration was selected by Itochu Logistics (China) Co., Ltd. as a premium supplier for its cold chain storage projects. The collaboration began in 2012 with the construction of Itochu's first 2-8℃ medicinal refrigerator, followed by a second -18℃ medicinal freezer in 2014. On May 15, 2017, Itochu Logistics executives and cold chain engineers visited XNAIR Refrigeration's headquarters. Facing sustained growth in cold chain operations and full capacity utilization of their existing two facilities, they proposed constructing a third refrigerated warehouse on the current site. This expansion aimed to further enhance storage capabilities to meet escalating demand.

Project Background/Challenges Faced

Zero Downtime Requirement：Existing 2~8℃ cold storage must operate normally during construction
Ultra-Tight Schedule：17-day deadline from May 15 to May 31, 2017
Space Constraints：Building new cold storage on existing site while repurposing original facility
Temperature Conversion：Transforming original 2~8℃ cold storage into -18℃ freezer
Holiday Pressure：Construction during Dragon Boat Festival holiday

Solutions / Commissioning & Acceptance

Phased Construction：Prioritized new cold storage assembly first, followed by retrofitting
Rapid Deployment：Completed site survey, contract signing, and equipment ordering within 3 days
Modular Prefabrication：Used pre-engineered panels to reduce on-site installation time
Parallel Workforce：Deployed 24/7 shifts including holiday overtime
Temporary Cooling：Installed backup refrigeration units for original cold storage

Project Results and Benefits

On-Time Delivery：Completed 1 day ahead of schedule
Capacity Boost：Increased total storage by 150% (new 500m³ cold storage + retrofitted 800m³ freezer)
Temperature Compliance：New cold storage maintained ≤2℃；retrofitted freezer reached -18℃ within 48h
Energy Efficiency：20% lower operational costs via optimized insulation design
Business Continuity：Zero disruption to daily operations during construction

Delivered zero-downtime cold chain expansion under 45-day deadline while converting temperature zones
