An earlier IARW release had left out Kloosterboer, and had thus understated both total cubic meters and the growth rate. The Top 25 as restated currently operate 94.3 million cubic meters, a 5.7% increase from 2012. The North American Top 25 operate 77.13 million cubic meters -- a 5.8% increase from 2012. Seventeen of the Global Top 25 are based in the US, Canada or Mexico.
"We are proud of the continued growth and strength of our industry," said IARW President Corey Rosenbusch. "All IARW warehouse members, including those companies listed on our top 25 lists, are committed to meeting the changing and expanding needs of the temperature-controlled industry."
The combined space of IARW total membership, including the Global Top 25 and North American Top 25 members, accounts for 121.5 million cubic meters, which is a 6.5% increase in membership space since the list was last released in May 2012. IARW has members in 65 countries around the world.
