A cold storage company whose filing states its total by region and its U.S. count, and nothing by kind of work, so the whole workforce takes the warehousing pattern.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 17% now, 20% at the end of 2027, 22% at the end of 2028, 22% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 22% desk work, 8% people work and 70% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 78% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 12% becomes checking a model's work and 9% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
Headcount
24,000 employees as of December 31, 2025 (stated). About 16,000 of 24,000 team members in the United States, as the filing states; 71% in North America, 21% in Europe, 8% in Asia-Pacific.
The filing: “In addition, we believe that our skilled and experienced team of approximately 24,000 team members provide a differentiated service that would be difficult to replicate, as many of them are trained to operate in a highly-specialized environment while complying with stringent food safety requirements. 7 Our high quality portfolio is located in highly desirable and strategic locations around the...”
The workforce as industry patterns
| Pattern | Share | Reason, from the filing |
|---|---|---|
| Warehousing and Storage | 100% | By description (c): the filing describes one business, temperature-controlled warehouses whose team members operate in a specialized environment under food safety rules, with no count by kind of work, so the whole workforce takes the warehousing pattern, which holds refrigerated warehousing in NAICS. |
What the filing says about the workforce: About 24,000 team members as of December 31, 2025 (26,000 a year earlier): about 17,000 in North America (16,000 in the U.S.), 5,000 in Europe, 2,000 in Asia-Pacific; fewer than 5% of U.S. team members and about 15% globally (22% if the unknown 8% are counted) represented by unions.
