Jurong Cold Store

What Jurong Cold Store does

Jurong Cold Store (JCS) is a Singapore-based cold chain logistics company founded in 1996 by Mr and Mrs Lee, who pivoted from a butchery business in Singapore's Chinatown after the Nipah virus outbreak disrupted live pig imports. Operating from a 100,000 sq ft plot in Jurong (Western Singapore), JCS provides temperature-controlled warehousing, transportation and distribution, freight forwarding, third-party logistics (3PL), and value-added services (pick and pack, labeling, repacking) to food and beverage customers requiring cold chain handling for frozen, chilled, and ambient perishable products.

The company's core technology is an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), adopted in 1997, operating within a 45-metre advanced vertical facility completed in 2016 with 15,000-pallet capacity and 77,000 cubic metres of storage. The facility maintains three temperature zones (-20°C frozen, 0–4°C chilled, 18–20°C ambient), features Singapore's first and only oxygen reduction system for fire risk and goods preservation, and is supported by 24/7 real-time temperature monitoring with Japanese refrigeration compressors plus standby compressors and generators. Operations are governed by FIFO and FEFO principles with reported 100% inventory management accuracy.

JCS operates a sales-led B2B model with quote-based pricing, serving the Singapore food and beverage industry across multiple temperature-sensitive categories. The company generates revenue through storage capacity rental and handling fees (managed services) plus transportation, freight forwarding documentation (GST, AVA, customs), 3PL coordination, and value-added professional services. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary JCS Shrimps (established 2001), JCS is also vertically integrated into shrimp aquaculture, owning five farms on 400 hectares in Indonesia with hatchery, grow-out, and HACCP-approved IQF processing capabilities supplying 4,000 tonnes of frozen shrimp annually via its own reefer vessel.

Broad incumbents

• Toll Group: Toll Group (Japan Post subsidiary) operates a global logistics network with dedicated cold-chain capability serving food and beverage customers in Asia-Pacific. Comparable to JCS in temperature-controlled storage and Singapore/regional presence but with broader product lines.
• Americold Logistics: Americold is the world's largest publicly-traded temperature-controlled warehousing company, operating hundreds of facilities globally. Comparable to JCS in core business model (temperature-controlled storage for food) but vastly larger and geographically diversified.
• Yusen Logistics: Yusen Logistics is a Japanese-headquartered global 3PL with cold chain capability serving F&B manufacturers and retailers across Asia. Comparable cold-chain warehousing and transportation offering to JCS, particularly for Asia-Pacific food customers.
• CEVA Logistics: CEVA Logistics (CMA CGM subsidiary) operates a global contract logistics network including dedicated cold-chain warehousing and temperature-controlled transport for the food and beverage industry. Comparable to JCS in core cold-chain 3PL offering for F&B customers.

• DHL Supply Chain: DHL operates a global cold chain logistics network including temperature-controlled warehousing and transportation for perishables. Overlaps with JCS in B2B cold chain service for F&B, though DHL's offering is part of a much broader supply-chain portfolio rather than a cold-chain specialist.
