Innovation at Work: Exoskeletons Bring the Future of Safety to Americold Warehouses 

At Americold, our associates are the heart of our business. They are the people who make a difference every day - and we’re committed to making sure our team feels safe, supported, and empowered at work. 

That’s why we’re introducing a game-changing innovation: exoskeleton technology. 

These wearable support devices are being rolled out across select sites in the Americas region and beyond. Designed to assist with case picking of heavier loads, exoskeletons reduce strain, support safer movement, and make daily tasks easier on the body. The result? A safer workplace, happier associates, and improved productivity across our operations. 

When we invest in technology that makes work safer and easier for our associates, we’re not just improving operations - we’re building a culture of care, trust, and pride in the work we do every day.

- Bryan Verbarendse, President, Americas
