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.

Challenges Faced

  1. Zero Downtime Requirement:Existing 2~8℃ cold storage must operate normally during construction

  2. Ultra-Tight Schedule:17-day deadline from May 15 to May 31, 2017

  3. Space Constraints:Building new cold storage on existing site while repurposing original facility

  4. Temperature Conversion:Transforming original 2~8℃ cold storage into -18℃ freezer

  5. Holiday Pressure:Construction during Dragon Boat Festival holiday


XNAIR Cold Storage Solution

  1. Phased Construction:Prioritized new cold storage assembly first, followed by retrofitting

  2. Rapid Deployment:Completed site survey, contract signing, and equipment ordering within 3 days

  3. Modular Prefabrication:Used pre-engineered panels to reduce on-site installation time

  4. Parallel Workforce:Deployed 24/7 shifts including holiday overtime

  5. Temporary Cooling:Installed backup refrigeration units for original cold storage
