Contecon Guayaquil launches Ecuador's first on-dock cold storage facility


Ecuador's banana export capabilities have received a boost with the launch of a new cold storage facility at the Port of Guayaquil.

The facility, developed in partnership with Cool Carriers, is the first on-dock cold storage facility in the country and will ensure uninterrupted cold chain preservation from cargo reception to shipment.

"Our cold storage facility not only transforms the way we export but also sets a new standard in the logistics industry," said Javier Lancha, Contecon Guayaquil chief executive officer.

"We will continue driving Ecuador to be synonymous with excellence in fresh produce exports,” he added.

The new facility is a reflection of Contecon Guayaquil's commitment to innovation and first-rate customer service. It also reinforces the company's leadership in the local port logistics sector and Ecuador's position as a benchmark for quality in Latin America.
