The R10-million expansion of the Port Elizabeth Cold Storage facility in the Coega Special Economic Zone will be completed this month according to the Coega Development Corporation.
PE Cold Storage co-director, George Efstratiou, said that once complete, the expansion would allow the company to “play a critical role” in the refrigeration and short-term storage of citrus products before distribution to global markets.
The expansion includes the construction of a new workshop to facilitate the servicing of the company’s forklifts and vehicles.
