A Legacy of Expertise,
Build for What's Next
Originally established in 1966 as United Insulated Structures, our company has spent decades focused on what we do best: designing and building cold storage and food processing facilities. Over the years, we've earned a reputation for industry expertise, trusted relationships, and a client-first approach that consistently delivers high-performing environments across the country.
Today, we continue that legacy as Power Construction Cold+Food Group — a name that reflects both our specialty and our strength as a dedicated division of Power Construction. While our leadership and team have evolved over time, the foundation of who we are remains the same: a group of people who care deeply about the quality of our work and the long-term success of our clients.
As part of Power Construction, we offer the added resources, stability, and backing of one of the Midwest’s largest and most respected builders. Our management-owned structure ensures that leaders stay close to the work, careers grow with intention, and safety and quality are never compromised. With more than $1.5 billion in annual revenue and an industry-leading EMR of 0.48, our clients can rely on us to deliver with confidence — every time.
Power Construction Cold + Food Group is proud to carry forward the experience and values that have shaped our history, while building what’s next for the cold and food industry. Same focus. New name. Even stronger future.
Your “One-Stop-Shop”
As your “one-stop-shop,” we provide single-source accountability. This approach allows us to guarantee that the project is designed, engineered, and constructed with your project goals as the top priority while also achieving the earliest possible completion date.
Our in-house team comprises architects, engineers, construction managers, and self-perform crews specializing in the project's most critical components, such as the building’s thermal envelope. Additionally, we have proven specialists in material handling, MEP, and refrigeration systems who are part of our team. These independent professionals are "supplier agnostic," allowing them to recommend solutions that best fit your unique needs.
