Murphy Logistics provides air-conditioned and humidity-controlled logistics to ensure sensitive food and beverage products maintain their quality and stability year-round. Our facilities keep products cool in summer and warm in winter—ideal for protecting items like chocolate, carbonated beverages, canned goods, and dry ingredients from temperature swings that can impact quality.
Murphy Logistics is your trusted partner for food-grade, climate-controlled storage and distribution. We serve customers throughout the Midwest and beyond, with facilities located in the Twin Cities Metro, Kansas City Metro, Avon, NY, and Ames, IA.
Our network provides national reach while maintaining consistent, air-conditioned environments for every shipment.
Why Climate Control Matters in Your Supply Chain
Maintaining stable environmental conditions is critical for quality control across your supply chain. Murphy’s climate-controlled logistics protect your products and your brand by managing:
- Product Integrity: Air-conditioned and humidity-regulated environments prevent melting, separation, or moisture damage in goods such as chocolate, beverages, and dry ingredients.
- Regulatory Alignment: Our food-grade facilities follow documented processes for safe handling and traceability, helping you meet audit and customer requirements.
- Operational Efficiency: Consistent product quality minimizes waste, stabilizes inventory turns, and reduces returns or rework costs.
- Customer Satisfaction: With stable storage and transport conditions, your products arrive exactly as intended.
Murphy’s Climate-Controlled Capabilities
We provide comprehensive climate-controlled logistics to safeguard your products from heat, cold, and humidity. Our capabilities include:
- Air-Conditioned Warehousing: Food-grade storage facilities designed to maintain consistent air temperatures year-round—protecting heat- and moisture-sensitive goods without refrigeration.
- Inbound Handling & Putaway: Rapid receiving and efficient putaway processes help preserve product quality.
- Value-Added Services: Kitting, labeling, and repacking are performed in controlled environments to maintain product stability.
- Cross-Dock & Transload: Cross-docking is a process where products from suppliers or manufacturers are directly transferred to a customer, with minimal to no storage time in between. This minimizes dwell time and keeps your shipments moving efficiently.
- Transportation Integration: We provide our own asset-based fleet for regional moves throughout the Midwest as well as nationwide service through our network of vetted and trusted carrier partners.
- Monitoring & Records: Documented temperature controls and shipment records are available to support your specifications and auditing needs.
Quality, Safety, & Compliance You Can Document
Murphy Logistics maintains strict standards for quality control, sanitation, and documentation. Our food-grade facilities follow written SOPs for receiving, storage, picking, and staging, all within air-conditioned, humidity-controlled environments.
We record and monitor storage conditions to meet your quality assurance and audit requirements. Our procedures ensure products are protected from temperature swings, moisture damage, and environmental contamination throughout every stage of handling and distribution. We can also ship with desiccant packs when needed.
