HA NOI (Bizhub) — Japanese company CLK Cold Storage Co Ltd on July 21 put into operation its modern cold storage zone in Tan Dong Hiep Industrial Zone, Binh Duong Province.

The coldest temperature in the zone is minus 50 degrees Celsius.

The US$18-million cold storage zone will keep goods in cold storage with modern temperature management technology.

The cold storage area was set up due to the increasing demand for Japanese food and predictions of large demand for frozen food in the future, the company said. In addition, the cold storage will help to promote the export of farm products, such as fruit.

Chairman of the people's committee of Binh Duong Province Tran Thanh Liem highly appreciated the project and expected the cold storage to work efficiently in the future.

He also asked Japanese investors to invest in the province because Binh Duong has created a good business environment for investors, such as good maritime and air transport infrastructure and professional operations of industrial zones.

Binh Duong has so far attracted 250 Japanese projects with a total investment capital of US$5 billion. — VNS
