Custom Supply Chain & Logistics Solutions
Your Supply Chain Doesn't Fit a Template. Your Logistics Partner Shouldn't Either.
Castellini works from your playbook — not ours.
The largest cold storage operators in the country are built for scale. What they’re not built for is you, your product specs, your retail windows, your volume fluctuations, and your specific requirements at the dock.
When your operation gets templated into a system designed for someone else’s supply chain, the gaps show up fast: missed delivery windows, product that arrives needing labor you didn’t budget for, a portal that tells you nothing useful, and a provider you can’t get a straight answer from.
Castellini is built differently. We have the infrastructure of a serious logistics operation: 200,000 square feet of climate-controlled storage, an asset-based fleet, 98% on-time delivery, and more than 130 years of perishable product expertise. What we don’t have is a rigid service structure that forces your operation to conform to ours.
Tell us how your supply chain needs to work. We build around it.
The Midwest Stabilizing Node
Stop managing the last 1,000 miles. Start anchoring to a hub that handles them.
Castellini’s Midwest facility is positioned at the geographic center of that problem. Use us as your consistent Midwest anchor point and the complexity downstream simplifies considerably.
- Inbound received, staged, and managed at our facility
- We can reach 70% of the US population in a day's drive
- One partner managing storage, repack, and outbound — no broker handoffs, no coverage gaps
- Retail cadence lanes that run on time because we own the trucks running them
The last 1,000 miles don’t have to be the hardest part of your supply chain.
Built Around Your Playbook
Most large cold storage operators run a standardized program. You adapt to their process, their technology, their communication cadence, and their service tiers, or you pay a premium to be the exception.
Castellini’s model runs in the opposite direction. We start with what your operation actually requires and build the program from there.
That means:
-
Your product specs drive our handling protocols.
Not the other way around. Whether your product requires specific temperature zoning, humidity management, precise lot rotation, or particular staging configurations, we build the process around the product.
-
Your communication preferences drive our reporting cadence.
Some customers want daily portal access and no phone calls. Others want a weekly check-in and a dedicated contact. We operate on your terms.
-
Your volume fluctuations don't destabilize your program.
Our LTL model is built for exactly this. Consistent cost, consistent process, and guaranteed on-time delivery, whether your volume is up, down, or unpredictable week to week. You're not paying for a full truck when you don't need one. And you're not waiting for capacity when you do.
-
Your growth path determines how we scale with you.
We're not interested in transactional volume. We're interested in customers whose supply chains we can genuinely serve over the long term, which means building programs with room to grow.
