Sorbello Freezers delivers comprehensive cold storage and logistics services from our facility in Elmer, NJ (Salem County). Strategically located near the Port of Philadelphia and major South Jersey transportation corridors, we provide fast, reliable service for importers of meat, poultry, seafood, and other temperature-sensitive products.
Cold Storage
Sorbello Freezers provides reliable, temperature-controlled cold storage for frozen and refrigerated products at our Elmer, NJ facility. Our warehouse maintains strict temperature standards around the clock, backed by continuous monitoring systems that protect cold chain integrity from receiving through dispatch. We accommodate both short-term holding for in-transit product and long-term warehousing for importers managing inventory levels. With flexible capacity and hands-on oversight, we keep your product safe, organized, and ready to move when you are.
3PL Value Adding
Beyond warehousing, Sorbello Freezers acts as a full-service 3PL partner for importers and distributors. Our team manages the operational details that keep your supply chain moving — USDA documentation and clearance coordination, inventory tracking, order fulfillment, product sorting, barcode capture, and labeling. We also support custom requests tailored to your buyers’ requirements or specific market needs. By handling these logistics in-house at our Salem County facility, we help reduce handoffs, cut lead times, and let you focus on your customers instead of your paperwork.
Blast Freezing
Sorbello Freezers offers high-capacity blast freezing to rapidly bring fresh or chilled product to frozen temperatures. Our blast freezing systems use high-velocity air circulation to lower temperatures quickly and uniformly, which limits ice crystal formation and preserves the cellular integrity, texture, and quality of your product. This service handles a range of product sizes and packaging formats, making it well-suited for fresh arrivals that need immediate freezing, product being prepared for extended cold storage, or shipments requiring shelf life extension before distribution. Fast, controlled freezing at our Elmer facility means your product reaches its next destination in peak condition.
USDA Import Inspection
As a USDA-approved Import Inspection Establishment (I-House), Sorbello Freezers provides on-site USDA inspection for imported meat, poultry, and other regulated products. Our team coordinates directly with USDA inspectors and handles the documentation required to move your product from port to commerce. We specialize in fast turnarounds — including same-day inspect-and-ship for time-sensitive loads — so your product clears quickly without sitting in storage. Located in Salem County with direct access to South Jersey’s transportation network, we help importers using the Port of Philadelphia get product inspected, cleared, and on its way with minimal delay and cost.
Microbiological and Fat Testing
Sorbello Freezers coordinates microbiological and fat content testing to support your quality assurance and buyer requirements. We handle sample collection at our facility and manage shipment to accredited third-party laboratories for analysis. Testing options include pathogen-specific screening (E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, and others), general bacterial counts such as APC (Aerobic Plate Count), and chemical lean / fat ratio analysis. Results give you the documentation you need to meet customer specifications, satisfy regulatory requirements, and make informed disposition decisions on your inventory.
Repack
Sorbello Freezers provides repack and debox services tailored to your supply chain requirements. Our most common repack operation is debox — tempering frozen meat from cartons and repackaging into combo bins for the next processor or distributor in the chain. We also handle custom repack jobs including re-labeling, lot separation, and reconfiguration for specific buyer or market requirements. Every repack job at our Elmer facility is executed with attention to product integrity, food safety compliance, and efficient turnaround so your product is ready for its next stop without unnecessary delays.
Tempering
Sorbello Freezers delivers controlled tempering services for frozen meat and seafood, bringing product from frozen state to your target temperature range safely and consistently. Our dedicated tempering areas are monitored continuously to maintain strict adherence to USDA and FDA temperature guidelines, minimizing purge and protecting product quality throughout the process. Whether you need full tempering for further processing or partial thaw for inspection, we handle it with the precision that imported goods demand. Tempering is available as a standalone service or combined with our debox and repack operations for a complete workflow from frozen carton to ready-to-ship combo bin.
