Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia: Americold Opens Global Innovation Center on October 29 to Centrally Monitor Automated Cold Facilities Worldwide
Americold Realty Trust, headquartered in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, announced on October 29 the opening of its new Global Innovation Center at its Atlanta headquarters and the appointment of Anita Nanda as Chief Technology and Solutions Officer. Americold is a global leader in temperature-controlled logistics, real estate and value-added services.
The center brings together technology, automation, data and analytics, business solutions and operational expertise. At its heart is a state-of-the-art Global Operations Command Center that centralizes around-the-clock oversight of the company's automated facilities worldwide, rather than replicating specialized monitoring and support capabilities at individual sites. The company said the centralized model enables real-time optimization, rapid problem-solving and coordinated support, while strengthening operational resilience and redundancy and creating efficiencies.
Chief Executive Officer Rob Chambers said the command center gives the company a fundamentally different way to manage and optimize its automated network, with the potential over time to apply these capabilities more broadly across its conventional network.
Nanda will lead the company's broader technology and solutions strategy, including enterprise technology, automation, cybersecurity, business solutions, data and analytics, and digital transformation. The center is currently open to Americold associates and is expected to welcome customers beginning in the first quarter of 2027.
