FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 18th, 2021

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – March 18th, 2021 – Everidge, one of the nation’s leading innovators of commercial cold storage solutions, walk-in coolers, freezers, and cook-chill specialty solutions, announced it is expanding its manufacturing footprint with the addition of a 7,500 sq. ft. distribution center in Winnebago, MN, and a 10,000 sq ft distribution center in Andover, KS for the PrepRite family of products.

Both distribution centers will enable Everidge to increase manufacturing capacity and throughput. The expansion at its long-standing Winnebago, MN plant should be complete in Q1, 2021. The Andover distribution center is already fully stocked with PrepRite products, including commercial blast chillers, sous vide machines, vacuum sealers, and pizza prep tables.
