A cold-storage legacy—built by families, trusted by industry.
From reefer doors for shipbuilders to freezer tunnels, specialty insulated spaces, and long-term food-industry partnerships—
our story is one of doing hard jobs the right way.
Today, Mission Cold Storage is proudly owned and operated by the Lewis and Ramsey families.

Our story, told as a timeline
A few highlights from decades of projects—food processing, shipbuilding, specialty manufacturing, and everything in between.
Built on craftsmanship
The work began with a simple idea: build insulated spaces that last—and treat customers like partners.
A customer through three buyouts
A relationship that began with AVI (later Valmac, then Tastybird, now Tyson) grew into a 45+ year partnership.
Scaling for fast-growing franchises
As Taco Bell and KFC grew into a nationwide force, we delivered over 100 cooler and cooler/freezer combinations.
From a first build to a major reach-in
A liquor cooler expanded in 1981, replaced in 1994 with a 90' × 20' × 10'5" unit—later growing into a reach-in over 100 feet long.
Reefer doors for major shipbuilders
A relationship with Bath Iron Works (and other builders) produced reefer doors for ships over multiple years.
Dippin’ Dots
A shoelace-budget startup needed small doors for delivery trucks—those doors became a long-term relationship.
Installed at the Arctic Circle
After a side-by-side comparison, our door was selected and installed for Pool Arctic Alaska—one unit reached the Arctic Circle.
Freezer tunnels to sound-proof enclosures
Projects ranged from large insulated freezer tunnels (with conveyors) to sound-proof enclosures around refrigeration systems.
Specialty doors shipped internationally
Small doors were shipped internationally for vapor recovery applications—built for brutal outdoor temperatures.
