Key Takeaways
CNI and Congebec are developing a cold storage site at Calgary Logistics Park to boost its prospects.

Canadian National Railway (CNI - Free Report) and Congebec, a Canadian logistics provider specializing in temperature-controlled distribution, are taking a major step to strengthen North America’s cold chain network by building a state-of-the-art cold storage facility at CNI’s Calgary Logistics Park in Alberta.

The partnership unites CNI’s vast rail and intermodal network with Congebec’s deep expertise in temperature-controlled logistics. Developed in collaboration with CNI’s construction partner, Matthews Tribal, the new Congebec facility will efficiently combine cold storage, cross-docking, transloading, and first- and last-mile services with its existing refrigerated programs.

CNI is advancing its strategy to build smarter and more sustainable supply chains through this project. The company aims to reduce long-haul trucking, lower emissions and enable faster, rail-based transport for temperature-sensitive goods. The Calgary facility will also strengthen Alberta’s role as a central hub for food production and export, giving Canadian producers and retailers a competitive edge in international trade.
Matthews Tribal, a North American developer specializing in logistics and industrial properties, adds development strength and a commitment to lasting community value. The company’s role highlights the importance of collaboration rooted in trust, innovation and regional growth.
