Nor-Am Cold Storage Adds 90 New Jobs In Kansas

Nor-Am Cold Storage has invested $30 million in a new 148,000-square-foot cold storage warehouse in Dodge City, KS.

Nor-Am Cold Storage recently opened a new 148,000-square-foot facility in Dodge City, KS. The new cold storage facility will bring 90 new full-time jobs and $30 million in capital investment to Dodge City and Ford County. It is the sixth facility in the Midwest for Nor-Am and the second in Kansas, with the other in Elwood.

Dodge City, KS “We believe this new facility not only enhances Nor-Am’s existing food-supply-chain infrastructure, but also has a direct positive impact on the local economy by adding approximately 90 essential jobs to the area,” said Scott Albers, President of Nor-Am Cold Storage. “All of our jobs are essential jobs. We consider ourselves a critical part of the food supply chain, and part of our job is to feed the world.”

“Nor-Am is an outstanding, family-oriented company, and its cold-storage capabilities are a critical component in the safe distribution of the high-quality food products Kansas is known for,” said Governor Laura Kelly. “Between its two locations, the company will play an essential role in our state’s efforts to keep food on the plates of families statewide and nationwide. I am pleased to welcome Nor-Am to another Kansas community.”

“Nor-Am Cold Storage’s freezing, storing, and processing right here in the heart of beef country will be critical in the food-supply chain,” said Secretary of Commerce David Toland. “Without question, Kansas’ central location for logistics and distribution is a true difference-maker for Nor-Am and so many other companies seeing Kansas as the best place to do business.”Dodge City, KS
