Cold storage facilities in Pampanga are expanding rapidly to meet surging demands for food security and localized temperature-controlled logistics. Major developments across the province are strengthening the region's capacity to store and preserve agricultural produce, pharmaceuticals, and perishable goods.
Artico Mabalacat: A Major Temperature-Controlled Hub
AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC) recently launched Artico Mabalacat, a cold storage facility located at the Pampanga Technopark in Mabalacat City. The facility features 4,000 to 5,000 pallet positions, catering to the growing demand for temperature-controlled storage of meat, dairy, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural goods. This development is part of ALLHC's broader strategy to expand its cold storage network across strategic locations in the Philippines, reinforcing Pampanga's position as a critical logistics node in Central Luzon.
Bacolor and San Simon: Supporting Farmers and Industry
In Bacolor, the province inaugurated its first dedicated agricultural cold storage in Barangay Cabalantian, with a 20,000-sack capacity specifically designed to support local onion farmers. This facility addresses the long-standing challenge of post-harvest losses by providing farmers with a reliable storage option that preserves their produce while waiting for favorable market prices. Meanwhile, other industrial players have established temperature-controlled warehouses in San Simon, a strategic logistics hub that connects Pampanga to major markets in Metro Manila and beyond. Together, these developments create a more resilient cold chain ecosystem that benefits farmers, businesses, and consumers across the province.
