Our refrigerated and cold storage division is FDA, USDA, SOLAS and NOAA certified, and we are equipped with our own facility to provide flexible solutions in fast, cost effective and reliable manner. We are capable of storing and handling perishables ranging from a variety of meats, to fruits and vegetables, dairy products and poultry to list a few. To complement our storage and warehouse services, we created a sales and distribution division with an experienced team fully dedicated to sourcing, selling and distributing food items, and making them available in strategic locations including supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, hotels, the hospitality industry, and in the marketplace where consumers can access them.
With the infrastructure in place, our own fleet of refrigerated trucks, safe and reliable drivers, logistics specialists, and transportation partners, our capabilities became endless, and we decided to introduce a transportation and logistics’ division specializing in providing reliable freight options via air, sea and land within Florida, nationwide, and to the Caribbean Islands. Our customers can now rely on us as their trusted partner and single source supplier from beginning to end, assuring that all products including perishables, home goods, heavy equipment and machinery are handled, stored and transported the right way until reaching their final destinations.
All of us are committed to maintaining our reputation for delivering on our promises, for being solution providers, for achieving goals and getting results, and we are dedicated to conducting our business fairly, honestly and with integrity. We remain committed to finding new ways to improve our operations, to streamlining the supply-chain process, to be environmentally conscious, and to give back to our community so we can all prosper together.
We are all about teamwork, results and great service!
Past and Future
Our company was established in 1914 by our beloved great-grandfather Jacob Fleishman, a visionary ahead of his times who possessed an unrivaled and innate business sense. He started our family owned and operated business by delivering eggs, butter and cheese on a small truck to local stores and neighborhoods in the Boston area. In the late 1970’s our forefathers moved to Florida and continued doing business locally. The company gained rapid recognition, diversified it product lines, and in the process expanded its staff members to about 10 full time members. By 1985 the business was re-established to offer cold storage solutions and we begun to expand faster than we ever imagined.
By 1992 our company was thriving. We expanded our sales division, broaden our products and proliferated so much that we had to re-locate to a larger facility to keep up with existing business, and to support future expansion that we were already anticipating as a result of the growing demand for our services. It was during this year that Roy, a 4th generation Fleishman, joined the team and eventually took over the management and operations becoming our company’s C.E.O.
Roy inherited much of his ancestor’s business sense, old fashion values and morals, along with a relentless pursue for operational excellence and exceptional customer support. In addition, his unique vision to create a safe, stable and friendly workplace for the company’s staff members gave the employees the drive to do their best. Through teamwork, dedication and determination, they turned a family dream into an industry leader in refrigeration and cold storage services, sales and distribution, and transportation and logistics business with a stellar reputation both nationwide and internationally.
We look forward to the continuous evolution, improvement, and diversification of our business, and most importantly to finding appropriate and tailored solutions that will always benefit our loyal customer base.
From humble beginnings with one small truck, to 167,055 Square feet facility, to offer leading services in:
