GFH Partners invests in temp-controlled logistics

GFH Partners has completed a co-investment in Cold-Link Logistics, a large temperature-controlled logistics platform operating across the USA. The investment was made alongside Slate Asset Management and funds managed by Hamilton Lane. While the assets are based in the USA, the deal reflects GFH Partners’ broader logistics strategy, which includes a focus on supply chain links between North America and the Middle East. 

Cold-Link owns and operates nine modern cold storage facilities located along major food production and distribution routes in the USA. Together, these sites offer more than 78 million cubic feet of storage space. The facilities handle frozen, chilled, and ambient goods, supporting the movement of food products from producers to end markets, including export-oriented supply chains. 

Beyond storage, Cold-Link provides services such as case picking, blast freezing, labelling, and freight coordination. These capabilities are important for food exporters supplying international markets, including the Middle East, where demand for imported fresh and frozen food continues to grow. Reliable cold storage at origin helps ensure product quality and compliance with food safety standards. 

The company serves more than 250 customers across over 10 food categories. The investment will support network expansion and operational efficiency, strengthening cold-chain infrastructure that underpins food trade flows between the USA and Middle Eastern markets, where dependable temperature-controlled logistics is essential for food security and supply chain resilience.
