Hansen Cold Storage Construction

What Hansen Cold Storage Construction does

Hansen Cold Storage Construction is a specialty contractor founded in 1989 and headquartered in Vernon, California, focused on the design, installation, and remodel of industrial cold storage facilities. The company builds insulated metal panel (IMP) walls and structures using urethane and polystyrene core panels from major manufacturers including Metl-Span, All Weather Insulated, and Kingspan, and installs cam-lock box systems (Custom Cooler, Imperial Manufacturing, National Cooler) plus industrial cold storage doors (Edey, Chase, Jamison, ASI Enviro, Rytec, Rite-hite). Project scope ranges from single door repairs to new construction of facilities exceeding 100,000 square feet for freezers, food processing rooms, coolers, growing rooms, meat processing, distribution centers, cannabis storage rooms, and wineries. Its technology approach is explicitly non-proprietary, allowing customer-driven selection of panel finishes, thicknesses, and door brands.

The company operates a project-based revenue model with two streams: one-time construction service contracts (design, installation, remodel) and direct material sales to end users. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with dedicated project managers assigned to each engagement, targeting facility owners in food processing, distribution, cannabis, and winery verticals. Named enterprise customers include Sequoia, Irvine Scientific, and Farmer John.

Hansen Cold Storage Construction is a subsidiary of Industrial Refrigeration Pros (IR Pros), a strategic operating company headquartered in Dallas, TX that manages a network of refrigeration-related businesses including Baker Refrigeration, Core Insulation, Precision Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Refrigeration Consulting & Services, Refrigerated Mechanical Solutions, Vertex Refrigeration, and Wyatt Refrigeration.
