    SCALES OPENS NEW AUCKLAND COLDSTORE
    20 new jobs created in $33m 'green' venture
    
    Scales Corporation Limited has today celebrated the opening of its subsidiary
    Polarcold's 11,800 sq.m. coldstore facility on Ports of Auckland's South
    Auckland Freight Hub.
    
    Scales Corporation managing director Andy Borland says the Polarcold Auckland
    facility has been established to store butter for Fonterra and a range of
    frozen food products for import, export and domestic clients.
    
    "This project has been a huge undertaking in a $33m capital partnership
    between Scales and Ports of Auckland completed on time and within budget over
    only 10 months," Borland says.
    
    "The location of the facility on Ports of Auckland's South Auckland Freight
    Hub provides strategic transport links to both rail and major roading
    networks for the efficient movement of frozen food products to and from the
    port and the wider Auckland area."
    
    A range of leading edge technologies has been used to ensure the facility is
    as 'green' and 'sustainable' as possible. They include water harvesting for
    the refrigeration cooling system, a bio-retention device for storm and waste
    water management, automatic sensor LED lighting and an energy efficient
    refrigeration plant.
    
    Live online inventory systems provide product quality and movement
    information for both Polarcold and its clients.
    
    "Successfully completing a project of this magnitude in a very busy Auckland
    construction market is a credit to all involved," Borland says. "This
    business is making a positive contribution to both the South Auckland
    economy, and Scales' profitability, with 20 new permanent jobs created."
