SnoTemp

What SnoTemp does

SnoTemp Cold Storage is a third-generation family-owned temperature-controlled public warehousing company headquartered in Oregon, founded in 1957 by Paul R. Lafferty. The company operates 750,000 square feet of storage capacity between -20°F and +70°F across facilities in Eugene, Albany, and Redmond, totaling roughly 22 million cubic feet. SnoTemp serves food processors and manufacturers (primary), national distributors, and natural food and craft beverage producers, providing frozen, cooler, and dry storage along with value-added fulfillment services such as case/keg/drum picking, labeling, retailer compliance rework, and import/export container handling.

The company's core technology is a proprietary, fully EDI-integrated Warehouse Management System accessed by customers through the eVista portal (hosted on KoerberCloud), which provides real-time inventory visibility, transaction histories, invoicing, API integrations, and automated reporting. SnoTemp holds BRCGS certification under GFSI for Storage and Distribution, an OLCC licensed warehouse designation at Eugene, and Oregon Tilth organic certification, collectively qualifying it for global food safety, beverage, and organic customer programs.

Revenue is generated primarily through usage-based public warehousing (storage fees on a per-pallet or per-cubic-foot basis across multiple temperature zones), with supplemental revenue from professional-services-style value-added fulfillment and managed-services-style co-located processing (including a specialized 8,530 SF repack suite at Albany and 25+ acres of shovel-ready land for tenant co-location). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting B2B food and beverage customers across the Pacific Northwest, with the eVista portal functioning as the primary account-management channel and long-tenured partnerships (some spanning 40+ years) as the dominant commercial asset.

Product overview

Broad incumbents

Comparable as a cold storage 3PL serving food processors, but operates at vastly greater scale and provides multi-region capabilities SnoTemp cannot match.
• Lineage Logistics: World's largest privately held temperature-controlled warehouse and logistics company with an extensive global network. Directly comparable service offering (frozen/refrigerated storage, value-added services, transportation) but with national and international scale far exceeding SnoTemp's regional footprint.
