Emergent Cold Acquires Leading New Zealand Cold Chain Company


Guiding STG Holdings, LLC as CEO, Chris Jamroz has an extensive background in integrated container freight station services. Chris Jamroz also has board responsibilities with Emergent Cold, which offers temperature-controlled storage platform solutions in countries such as Australia and Vietnam. 

In May 2018, the global cold chain company announced the acquisition of the recently merged Scales Corporation coldstore operations. Operating under the Polarcold brand, the company was formed in January from a combination of Whakatu Coldstores, Ltd. and Polarcold Stores, Ltd.

The managing director of Scales described his firm as having established a market-leading presence in New Zealand’s coldstorage sector. This made it an ideal strategic fit with Emergent Cold, which is rapidly building up global capacities. The acquisition expands the company’s ability to actively meet worldwide cold chain market demand.

At the same time, Scales’ 700 employees now have the chance to integrate their capacities and agribusiness expertise with a well-established management team that offers ample corporate growth opportunities outside New Zealand.
