Porter Logistics, an Atlanta, Georgia, USA-headquartered logistics and 3PL warehousing company founded in 2014, has announced its expansion into cold chain logistics, offering specialized cold storage services for manufacturers and distributors.

Add in our rail-served capabilities along with GMP Food Grade & HAZMAT certifications and we feel very confident in our ability to service the most complex 3PL requirements.”
