Melbourne, Florida-based Tippmann Innovation (Ti Cold) is working with Investex and the Renna family to build a state-of-the-art cold storage facility in Central Texas that will operate as Triple Temp Cold Storage. The Rennas, longtime residents of the greater Austin area, are no strangers to the frozen foods industry as Michael Renna founded Michael Angelo’s Gourmet Foods over 30 years ago.
Upon anticipated completion in the fourth quarter of 2022, the 125,000-square-foot public refrigerated warehouse will be the first modern cold storage facility in the city of Round Rock, and contain 25,000 pallet positions and 50-foot clearance heights. Triple Temp Cold Storage will feature an environmentally conscious low-charge ammonia system to allow for three temperature zones: a cooler, a freezer, and an ultra-low freezer.
“We’re excited to honor our community-minded roots by bringing a public refrigerated cold storage facility to Austin,” said Michael Renna, president and chief executive officer of Investex. “Our partnership with Ti Cold allows us to help bring an innovative, scalable, and sustainable cold storage solution to an exciting and growing area of Central Texas.”
