How modular, on-demand cold storage saves waste, energy – and headaches
The UN Environment Programme estimates that improper cold storage leads to a staggering 526 million tonnes of food loss annually – while cold storage weaknesses cost the pharmaceutical sector $35 billion a year. Everyone in these industries is seeking solutions. Could TITAN Containers’ ArcticStore modular cold storage be the answer?
nsuring a constant, reliable supply chain is paramount in the fast- paced world of ingredients procurement. Seasoned professionals understand this. However, the inflexibility of traditional, built-in cold storage systems used by many manufacturers, researchers, and developers – and the resulting losses – can no longer be ignored.

Permanent cold storage facilities, while adequate in some cases, are rigid. If your needs dramatically drop, the capital expenditure for an oversized system becomes a burden. Conversely, when demand spikes, adding capacity quickly seems impossible.
One answer to the inflexibility posed by inbuilt cold storage is modular cold storage, which is becoming increasingly sought-after worldwide.
The flexible cold storage solution TITAN Containers’ popular ArcticStore brand – one of the world’s leading solutions in this arena – boasts a range of benefits. Customers – including household names in food production and pharmaceuticals such as Sonoco, Coca-Cola, Scottish Shellfish and AstraZeneca – recognise the economic sense of highly versatile cold storage solutions that scale up or down as needed.
This unbeatable flexibility translates to fewer headaches for those tasked with storing ingredients in optimal conditions.
A modular cold storage warehouse on demand

containers with a plug. However, their next- generation insulation, phenomenal temperature control (-75°C to +45°C), and powerful data logging capabilities elevate them to a high-tech solution. One thing that makes ArcticStores unique is their modular nature. They can be combined in any conceivable configuration to create a bespoke cold storage warehouse, which can be rapidly resized on demand.
Flexible rental terms – preferred by many clients over outright purchase – give ingredient manufacturers the freedom to respond to fluctuating yields and market demands with ease. The largest modular warehouse created to date (these are known as Arctic SuperStores) has a footprint of 800m2 – though far bigger is possible.
Remote monitoring and backup Traceability and transparency are crucial for product success and viability over its life cycle. Each ArcticStore container (available in 10ft, 20ft and 40ft sizes) can be monitored and controlled remotely
using a remote monitoring modem called SmartArctic.
Designed with ease of use in mind, the system gives users complete peace of mind as they securely track and adjust temperatures from any connected device.
Beyond standalone cold storage, ArcticStores provide reliable backup for malfunctioning inbuilt systems. In many instances, ArcticStores can be on site and fully operational within days. Additionally, they can be integrated with existing systems to support temporary demand increases or deployed permanently at key points along the supply chain. Some clients, for example, create a large Arctic SuperStore at their main facility, augmented by single units as ‘holding areas’ along the cold chain.
A key role in sustainability Already highly energy efficient, the entire ArcticStore collection – which is completed by a powerful blast freezer and an ultrafreezer – has recently been upgraded.
All models since late 2022 boast the ‘ArcticStore Tropical’ logo, signifying a 20% reduction in energy use compared to earlier models. This translates to lower running costs and the opportunity to enhance your sustainability efforts. Modular cold storage offers the ingredients industry the solution it has been looking for: a recipe for less waste, energy – and stress.
