RealCold has expanded its cold storage network in Texas to include pharmaceutical logistics, positioning the company among the top cold storage providers in the state as demand for regulated, temperature-controlled capacity grows.
DENTON, Texas, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Texas has become an important gateway for temperature-sensitive products, connecting pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors to major highways, airports, ports, and population centers. Pharmaceutical companies searching for a dependable cold chain logistics partner have a new option in RealCold, a national cold storage provider built on food and beverage expertise.
Earlier this year, RealCold acquired Dallas-based SCL Cold Chain, a CEIV Pharma-certified logistics specialist, extending its network into regulated pharmaceutical storage. The acquisition combines RealCold's national cold chain infrastructure with SCL's pharmaceutical handling expertise, giving manufacturers and distributors access to both food and pharmaceutical temperature-controlled services through one broader provider network.
Why Is Texas Becoming a Hub for Pharmaceutical Cold Chain Logistics?
The state's central highway access, Gulf Coast port connections and reach into most major U.S. markets make it a natural fit for cold chain logistics for pharmaceuticals. Shippers need partners who can move medications, biologics and clinical trial materials without losing custody along the way. Through its acquisition of SCL Cold Chain, RealCold added access to CEIV Pharma-certified expertise, FDA-registered operations, continuous temperature monitoring, and Bonded Customs Freight Station capabilities.
What Temperature and Compliance Standards Matter Most for Pharma Storage?
Pharmaceutical storage demands colder, more tightly monitored conditions than typical food and beverage cold chain work. RealCold's network, including its Denton facility, spans multiple temperature zones with a 0° Fahrenheit Freezer, 36° F refrigerator, and dry storage at 55° F, to support a variety of frozen, refrigerated, and climate-sensitive products.
To complement its network, RealCold's Lockhart facility serves as a 14-million-cubic-foot staging location for products moving through Texas. This focus on infrastructure is paired with an individualized approach to client support. RealCold assigns each company a dedicated customer service representative and structures onboarding around their specific handling requirements, supporting product integrity from the start of the relationship.
Frequently Asked Questions
