A foodservice distributor is converting a 229,934-square-foot Menifee warehouse into a refrigerated distribution hub, and PLAN IT supplies the case-packing and palletizing equipment that keeps it running.
A 229,934-square-foot Menifee warehouse is being converted into a refrigerated distribution hub: a foodservice distributor paid $40.5 million for the building and is putting roughly $25 million more into the cold-storage buildout itself. The cold chain can't break. Once product comes off the truck cold, it needs to be packed, weighed, and staged for the next leg of the supply chain without a gap in temperature control, and PLAN IT supplies the packaging automation that does exactly that. If your Menifee operation needs to move packed product at that pace, PLAN IT's case erectors and case packers assemble and seal outbound cartons fast, and our PackMaster cobot palletizers stack pallets without adding labor headcount.
Menifee's economic-development plans point toward more of this kind of work, not less: city materials explicitly target advanced manufacturing and logistics-related manufacturing alongside healthcare and aerospace components, and a five-building, nearly 4.66-million-square-foot Class-A industrial park anchors the city's growing distribution sector. A regional grocery chain already ranks among Menifee's top-ten employers, evidence that grocery retail and food distribution are established here, not speculative. A broken cold chain costs more than a late truck; PLAN IT's case erectors, case packers, and PackMaster palletizers keep product moving without breaking it. PLAN IT also supplies bagging and pouching equipment for repack and private-label work, plus checkweighers and other inspection systems that keep outbound product compliant before it ships. This refrigerated buildout is one entry in a bigger California network. PLAN IT's locations page maps the rest of it, our food and beverage industry page lists the producer types we equip, and the exact machines for a cold-storage operation like this one are broken out on the VFFS and case-packer category pages and solutions overview.
