Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

CORE X GRESS provides cold storage in Pennsylvania for food manufacturers, distributors, importers, retailers, and foodservice companies serving the Northeast. The Scranton operation brings together four cold storage facilities, multiple temperature ranges, warehouse services, and refrigerated transportation within reach of New York and major Northeast metropolitan markets.
The Gress name has served the Northeast for more than 50 years. By the late 1990s, the family business had moved fully into cold storage and refrigerated transportation, adding warehouse space and its own fleet as customer needs grew. That operating history still shapes CORE X GRESS today: local people handling the day-to-day work, backed by the broader resources of CORE X Partners.
Customers can use the Scranton operation for frozen, refrigerated, ambient, and convertible-temperature storage, along with product handling and outbound support. The mix gives food companies room to match storage and warehouse services to the product and customer program instead of forcing every requirement into the same operating model.
Cold storage and transportation often become one operational problem at the dock. A shipment can be ready in the warehouse and still create a service issue if staging, appointment timing, or outbound transportation falls out of sync.
CORE X GRESS connects storage with an asset-based refrigerated fleet that provides tracking, tracing, and temperature monitoring. Customers can coordinate receiving, storage, order preparation, staging, and temperature-controlled freight through the same regional operation, reducing the number of handoffs between warehouse and transportation teams.
That coordination is especially useful for food companies managing Northeast delivery schedules, seasonal volume, customer-specific orders, or products that require close control from storage through outbound movement. When plans change, the local team can work across both sides of the operation instead of passing on the issue between unrelated providers.
Food inventories rarely stay simple as product lines and customer programs grow. One SKU may need frozen storage while another requires refrigerated, ambient, or convertible-temperature space. CORE X GRESS supports multiple storage environments so customers can manage a broader product mix within the Scranton operation.
Value-added warehouse services help prepare inventory for the next step without adding another outside handoff. Case picking, case labeling, kitting, cross-docking, room freezing, and related handling can support retail, foodservice, seasonal, and customer-specific programs while product remains within the cold chain operation.
Bulk storage adds another option for customers that need to hold larger inventory positions. Together, these services give manufacturers and distributors more flexibility to adjust warehouse activity as order profiles, volume, and distribution requirements change.
CORE X GRESS also supports programs with specialized handling and regulatory requirements. The Scranton operation is USDA Certified for Export & Import and APHIS-approved as a supplying warehouse for receiving, storing, and shipping animal by-products.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) integration supports the exchange of order and inventory information, while BRC-certified operations add another layer of food storage quality support. These capabilities are especially relevant for importers, exporters, manufacturers, and distributors that need storage requirements, documentation, and product movement coordinated through the same regional team.
Local relationships matter when a shipment needs a quick answer. CORE X Partners is built around regional operators who stay close to day-to-day execution while connecting customers to shared technology, transportation resources, and a broader cold chain distribution network.
For a CORE X GRESS customer, that means the Scranton team remains central to the relationship. As distribution needs change, customers can add network support, another region, or additional cold chain capabilities without giving up the local operating knowledge that supports service consistency.
CORE X GRESS combines more than 50 years of Northeast cold chain experience with four Scranton facilities and a refrigerated fleet built around local execution. Through CORE X Partners, that regional team is connected to broader cold storage, technology, and transportation resources as customer needs grow.

Glenn Gress Jr. represents the next generation of a family cold chain business with more than 50 years of Northeast operating history. The Gress team expanded into dedicated cold storage and refrigerated transportation in the late 1990s, building additional warehouse space and operating its own refrigerated fleet as the business grew.
Today, Glenn leads CORE X GRESS from Scranton while the local team continues the relationship-driven operating model that built the Gress name. Customers work with people who know the facilities, the freight, and the regional market, with access to CORE X resources when a program needs to extend beyond Pennsylvania.

Seasonal production creates a difficult cold storage decision for food manufacturers. Build or lease too much permanent freezer space, and the business carries overhead it may not need for much of the year. Under-plan capacity, and production can run into storage pressure, outbound delays, short-term freight issues, or customer service
Cold chain rejections are not caused by temperature problems alone. This infographic would show the major operational and compliance failures that can prevent frozen and refrigerated products from being accepted at receiving.
A growing food manufacturer usually outgrows a simple warehouse answer before it realizes it. At first, the need may sound straightforward: find cold space, move finished goods out of production, and keep product protected until it ships. Growth changes that quickly. New SKUs are added. Retail customers bring different requirements.
Temperature compliance is often discussed as a food safety requirement, but for frozen and refrigerated brands shipping into retail distribution networks, it is also a retail performance issue. A shipment can arrive within the delivery window and still fail at receiving. If the product is out of temperature range, has
