Martin’s Distribution Inc., a Charlotte-based food distributor, called on A M King to transform an existing shell building into a fully functioning food facility.

The new plant allows the company to capitalize on growing demand from local restaurants for fresh, quality produce. Martin’s supplies over 700 products to more than 250 customers in the Charlotte area, including beverages, dairy, fruits, vegetables, spices, cleaning supplies, pantry staples and more.

A M King performed full design, engineering, permitting and construction of the project. The scope of work included construction of three cooler/storage areas comprising a 38-degree shipping/receiving area; a 38-degree cooler; a 55-degree cooler, a -10-degree freezer and lockable auxiliary space.

“Because we are 100 percent focused on our growing customers and their needs, we needed the ability to store more products for them in a facility that could service such demand. ”
