RLS Logistics took another step in growing its national network of cold storage providers Sept. 4 with the inclusion of Gress Refrigerated Services & Logistics.

Gress is a third-generation family-owned cold storage provider operating in northeast Pennsylvania.

“Gress’ success demonstrates its commitment to maintaining long-standing relationships with its customers,” RLS Warehousing Group CEO Tony Leo said in a statement. “This makes them an ideal complement to our network of top regional family-run cold storage providers. We welcome them to our family and are excited about our future together.”

RLS created its network of cold chain operators to provide customers a regional platform with national scale consisting of best-in-class family-operated companies. These companies in turn gain access to updated technology, quality systems and national reach.
