TransCold Distribution® USA Employee of the Year 2020

TransCold Employee of the Year USA 2020

Congratulations to Steve Kannas!

Steve is our Route Sales Driver in Seattle, WA. He was selected by a committee of peers out of 45 other nominees as our 2020 American Employee of the Year! Steve has been with TransCold Distribution® for over 2 years and began as an Route Relief Driver. His co-workers say:

  • “Steve is what TCD wants in an employee: self-starter, goal setter, problem solver, positive attitude and great team member. Steve is a professional and takes his job seriously and during this crazy year, his attitude and work ethic exemplifies how lucky we are to have Steve as a team member.”
  • “Steve is dependable, great with customer service and gets along well with fellow co-workers. He is an all-around nice guy and never misses a sale!”
  • “Steve set a goal last year to have sales of $1 million but missed it by ten thousand dollars. This year, he couldn’t get that number out of his head and wouldn’t let it slip away. By the end of this last quarter, he reached the $1,000,000 mark. Even though he has reached his goal he’s still working with a smile on his face.”

Our customers love him and so do we. We are very pleased to be able to recognize his contributions.

New Location: San Diego

TransCold San Diego Warehouse Location

Today we announce another new location for TransCold Distribution®!

Construction on a new 9000ft² freezer with dry storage space and professional office space is expected to be complete in late Spring 2021. At that point, our National City team will transition to the new location in Poway, henceforth known as TransCold® San Diego.

We moved into our current National City location in 2015. Thanks to their hard work, NC has seen soaring growth ever since and is on track to be our largest producing US location. We are quickly outpacing the capacity of that location, so have taken action to better serve our customers.

This is TransCold®’s 3rd currently active construction project. Recent years have been a tremendous period of growth and we appreciate the customers and team that help us continue to reach higher. 

Congratulations, National City team!

New Product: Kind™ Frozen Bars

Kind Frozen Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt Bar

Available soon in multipack form in our US markets. Kind™ has long dominated the healthy protein and granola bars, but the Kind™ Frozen Bar is the first of its … kind.

Their first flavor, Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt is a frozen, creamy nut bar made from nutrient-dense almonds, layered with smooth dark chocolate and sea salt. Both creamy and crunchy, it’s been compared to a Snickers® bar, but a healthy alternative – 4g of protein, only 10g added sugar and 190 calories per serving. Even better – the very first ingredient is Almonds!

Graduation: Melissa Leung earns EMBA

Melissa Leung, Executive Masters of Business Administration

TransCold distribution congratulates Melissa Leung, President, on the successful completion of her Executive Master of Business Administration studies.
