When it comes to transporting perishables, freshness isn’t optional—it’s everything. At CFI Perishables, our Cool Chain is built to maintain product integrity from the first mile to the last, combining precision handling, intelligent monitoring, and decades of expertise in temperature-sensitive logistics.
Whether it’s berries bound for Europe, seafood destined for Asia, or pharmaceuticals flying through LAX, every shipment in our care is protected through continuous visibility, validated packaging, and unwavering control. CFI’s Cool Chain culture is more than a process—it’s a promise of quality, compliance, and consistency at every handoff.
The Cool Chain in Motion
The cool chain isn’t a single link—it’s a synchronized network of actions designed to keep perishables protected during transit. At CFI, we apply the same standard of care whether your product moves by air, ocean, or road.
Our Cool Chain Culture includes:
- Immediate Temperature Verification: Every shipment entering our facility has its temperature recorded and moved into the appropriate temperature and commodity refrigerator or freezer.
- CoolSkys Packaging Solutions: Our proprietary insulation systems used to wrap and insulate pallets and ULDs maintains thermal stability and reduce spoilage compared to conventional foil-based packaging.
- Tive Monitoring Devices: Placed directly within shipments, these sensors transmit real-time temperature and humidity data through CFI’s connected API platform—ensuring a complete environmental record while in our custody, in transit, and up till final delivery.
- Global Facility Network: With cold storage and forwarding capabilities at LAX, SEA, JFK, MIA, ORD, IAH, BOS, SFO, ANC, DFW, HNL, and beyond, CFI maintains consistent quality across North America and key global gateways.
Why CFI’s Cool Chain Stands Apart
CFI’s strength lies in the details. Every product we handle—whether it’s Alaskan salmon, Hawaiian pineapple, California citrus, or biopharmaceutical samples—requires distinct handling protocols.
We deliver excellence through:

- FreshChain™ real-time tracking, giving customers shipment visibility and documented assurance.
- Pre-set airline cut-off times, ensuring product flow meets every export window.
- Active communication between our domestic facilities and international partners to eliminate temperature gaps.
