Artico Cold Chain, the cold storage arm of AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC), is redefining sustainable logistics in the Philippines through green-certified infrastructure and renewable energy integration across its nationwide operations.

With seven sites located in Laguna, Cebu, Pampanga, Batangas, Pangasinan and Iloilo, Artico provides over 31,500 pallet positions of cold storage capacity to serve industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceuticals and industrial goods. This growing network enhances supply chain reliability, reduces transport inefficiencies, and strengthens the country’s logistics backbone.

According to the International Finance Corporation (IFC), emerging markets like the Philippines represent a $160-billion cold chain investment opportunity by 2050.
