"SubZero works seamlessly with Radius Transport, a reputable refrigerated carrier in Greater Vancouver and across North America, which will complement our growth plan for expansion across Canada and into the U.S. market."
Komo will store its food at SubZero's innovative new facility that offers temperature ranges from minus 20 C and a refrigerated loading dock to maintain correct product temperatures to ensure the integrity of frozen foods. SubZero uses a sophisticated warehouse management system, which includes EDI (electronic data interchange) capabilities, inventory management and 24/seven on-line access to customer data. To ensure a high standard of food safety compliance, SubZero follows an HACCP-based program.
