## Company history

Americold traces its origins to 1903, when Atlantic Ice & Coal Company was formed through the combination of three cold-storage warehouses, with Ernest Woodruff involved in the effort. [5](https://www.americold.com/about-americold/) In 2010, Americold acquired VersaCold’s U.S. and offshore operations, expanding its presence into Australia, New Zealand and Argentina. [23](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/americold-realty-trust-announces-successful-completion-of-versacold-acquisition-and-financing-111954144.html) After filing preliminary IPO materials in 2010, the company completed its initial public offering in January 2018, and its shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. [24](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1455863/000104746910004801/a2198607zfwp.htm) [25](https://ir.americold.com/press-releases/news-details/2018/Americold-Realty-Trust-Announces-Closing-of-Initial-Public-Offering-and-Exercise-of-Underwriters-Over-Allotment-Option-01-23-2018/default.aspx)

Americold expanded through several major acquisitions from 2019 to 2020, including Cloverleaf Cold Storage in the United States, Nova Cold Logistics in Canada, and Agro Merchants Group, which substantially broadened its international operations.

[29](https://ir.americold.com/press-releases/news-details/2020/Americold-Realty-Trust-to-Form-Strategic-Joint-Venture-in-Brazil-and-Acquire-15-Ownership-in-SuperFrio-for-BRL-118-Million-02-20-2020/default.aspx) Americold converted from a Maryland business trust to a Maryland corporation in May 2022. [30](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P66934795) In September 2025, Robert S. Chambers became chief executive officer, succeeding George Chappelle.
