McALLEN, TX – Getting fresh produce cooled and shipped to customers is key for importers at the U.S.-Mexico border, and the recent joint-venture between Allen Lund Company and Santos International, TransKool Solutions, is helping its customers get the freshest food possible in the timeliest fashion.

I had an opportunity to catch up with Carlos Santos at PMA Fresh Summit last month to find out more about the partnership, the supply-chain services TransKool Solutions provides, and the way in which the venture is uniquely-positioned to meet its customers’ needs.

“In 2016, Santos International and Allen Lund Company opened up a joint venture—TransKool Solutions—offering cold storage in McAllen, Texas,” Carlos explained. “By working with Allen Lund Company on the transportation and Santos International in the customers brokerage, we believe that we’re able to offer…information quickly and accurately.”

Specializing in storage and cooling from 33 to 34 degrees, TransKool Solutions boasts impressive customer satisfaction and retention rates with the joint-venture’s complete end-to-end supply chain services, and because of the venture’s prodigious first-year success, TransKool Solutions is already expanding to an impressive new facility.

“We’re now moving into a new facility, which is 40,000 square feet, located in McAllen, Texas,” Carlos added. “We’ll have plenty of room to work on the floor and to move product in and out quickly.”
