The Global Cold Chain Expo, created in partnership with the Global Cold Chain Alliance and the United Fresh Produce Association, will be held this year, June 20-22, at the McCormick Place Convention  Center, Chicago, Illinois. 

The event will put a focus on the all the products, services, technologies, companies, and employees that unite to ensure that perishable products arrive safely to consumers around the world.  

The Global Cold Chain Expo will be a one-stop-shop for all cold chain needs with 25,000 square feet of trade show space featuring hundreds of exhibitors from every sector of the cold chain, including material handling, warehousing, construction, supply chain/logistics solutions and transportation providers.
The Global Cold Chain Expo will attract more than 15,000 key decision makers from retail, foodservice, processing, production, distribution, logistics, and transportation. Attendees will represent frozen, refrigerated, ambient and fresh operations.
“Increasingly, the fresh produce industry is being challenged to compete with locally grown, short haul fruits and vegetables that are picked closer to ripeness,” said Tom Stenzel, president & CEO of the United Fresh Produce Association. “We believe the only way we can enhance quality control in our supply chain is a deep dive into the cold chain and technologies that bring our growers, packers and wholesalers closer to the consumer.”
For industry suppliers, the Global Cold Chain Expo provides a competitive advantage by building brand awareness, expanding audience penetration to all global buyers of temperature-controlled transportation and facilities, and connecting suppliers to key decision makers. Their products and services will be on the world’s largest stage in the cold chain industry. 
The list of exhibiting companies can be consulted on Global Cold Chain Expo website.
