International Association of
Refrigerated Warehouses
The International Association
of Refrigerated Warehouses (IARW) came into existence in 1891
when a number of conventional warehousemen took on the demands
of storing perishable food and soon realized the increased
challenge and complexity of operating temperature controlled
storage facilities.
IARW's goals and activities
have broadened considerably over the years. Today, in addition
to collecting information and encouraging the exchange of ideas,
the association aggressively promotes more efficient
distribution services, aids members in adopting new technology,
advises members of legislation and regulations affecting the
food industry, assists members in complying with U.S. and
international regulations, and participates in alliances with
industry and international organizations having a common
interest in the safe and efficient flow of food products around
the world. All active members of IARW are also members and
beneficiaries of the work of The World Food Logistics
Organization.
