Protect your temperature-sensitive inventory with our climate-controlled Vancouver warehouse. Stable ambient conditions for supplements, shelf-stable food products, and pharmaceutical goods—plus temperature-controlled freight options when you need them.
Many products don't require refrigeration or frozen storage—but they absolutely cannot be exposed to extreme heat, freezing temperatures, or dramatic temperature swings. Supplements lose potency. Shelf-stable foods degrade. Pharmaceutical products fall out of compliance. That's where Canadian Alliance's climate-controlled warehousing comes in.
Our 500,000+ square foot Vancouver warehouse maintains stable ambient temperatures year-round, protecting your temperature-sensitive inventory from the conditions that cause spoilage, degradation, and costly product losses. Located just 5 minutes from the Port of Vancouver in Delta, BC, we provide the controlled environment your products need—without the premium costs of refrigerated or frozen storage.
Climate-controlled warehousing maintains consistent ambient temperatures (typically 15-25°C / 59-77°F) through heating in winter and cooling in summer. This protects products from temperature extremes and fluctuations—ideal for goods that need stable conditions but don't require active refrigeration. It's the smart storage solution for temperature-sensitive products that fall between standard dry storage and cold chain requirements.
Our facility maintains stable temperatures throughout the year, preventing exposure to freezing winters and hot summers that can damage sensitive products.
Climate-controlled storage is just the start. We provide complete 3PL services to manage your entire supply chain from our Vancouver facility.
When your products need temperature protection during transit, we arrange refrigerated or temperature-controlled transportation on an as-needed basis.
Our climate-controlled Vancouver warehouse is perfectly suited for products that need stable ambient conditions. These products don't require refrigeration, but they will degrade, lose potency, or become unsellable if exposed to temperature extremes or fluctuations.
Vitamins, minerals, protein powders, and dietary supplements are highly sensitive to heat and humidity. Exposure to high temperatures accelerates degradation and reduces potency—meaning products may not deliver the labeled dosage by their expiration date. Our stable ambient environment helps maintain product integrity throughout the storage period.
Multivitamins, vitamin D, calcium, iron supplements
Protein powders, pre-workout, BCAAs, creatine
Botanical extracts, herbal capsules, tinctures
Probiotics (shelf-stable), omega oils, collagen
While these products don't require refrigeration, they're still sensitive to temperature. Chocolate melts. Oils go rancid faster in heat. Canned goods can be compromised by freezing. Our climate-controlled storage keeps shelf-stable products in optimal condition.
Chocolate, candy, gummies, baked goods
Snacks, cereals, pasta, canned goods
Bottled drinks, coffee, tea, drink mixes
Oils, sauces, condiments, dried goods
Many over-the-counter medications, medical devices, and health products have storage requirements specifying protection from extreme temperatures. Our controlled environment helps maintain compliance with storage guidelines.
Pain relievers, cold medicine, first aid
Lotions, creams, lip balms, sunscreen
Test kits, monitors, disposable supplies
Pet supplements, medications, health products
Storing temperature-sensitive products in a standard, uncontrolled warehouse creates real business risks. Vancouver's climate is moderate compared to many regions, but warehouses without climate control still experience significant temperature swings—especially in summer heat waves and winter cold snaps.
Temperature fluctuations degrade product quality over time. Supplements lose potency, food products deteriorate faster, and cosmetics can separate or spoil. Climate control maintains the quality your customers expect.
Products stored in stable conditions maintain their quality longer. This reduces waste, minimizes returns, and ensures products reach customers in optimal condition with maximum remaining shelf life.
Many products have manufacturer-specified storage requirements. Storing outside these parameters can void warranties, create liability issues, and put you out of compliance with industry regulations.
Product spoilage, returns due to quality issues, and customer complaints all hit your bottom line. Climate-controlled storage is an investment that prevents far more costly problems down the road.
Customers who receive degraded products won't come back—and they'll tell others. Proper storage protects the reputation you've worked hard to build.
Health Canada, FDA, and industry bodies have storage guidelines. Climate-controlled warehousing helps you meet these requirements and provides documentation if questions arise.
Our climate-controlled warehousing services support businesses across multiple industries that handle temperature-sensitive products. We understand the unique requirements of each sector and provide tailored solutions.
The supplement industry demands careful handling. We provide lot tracking, FIFO/FEFO rotation, and expiration date management to ensure your products ship fresh. Our team understands NHP regulations and can support your compliance requirements with proper documentation and handling procedures.
Shelf-stable food products still need protection from temperature extremes. We handle packaged foods, confectionery, beverages, and specialty food items with the care they require. Our facility supports food-grade storage standards for products that don't require refrigeration.
OTC medications, personal care products, and medical supplies often require controlled storage conditions. We maintain the stable environment these products need and provide the documentation to support your quality management systems.
Beauty products, skincare, and cosmetics are sensitive to heat and cold. Creams separate, fragrances degrade, and packaging can be damaged by temperature swings. Our climate-controlled facility keeps your products in perfect condition for your customers.
Moving your temperature-sensitive inventory to Canadian Alliance is straightforward. Our onboarding process ensures a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your operations.

Talk to our team about building a complete solution for your temperature-sensitive supply chain.
Our facility maintains stable ambient temperatures in the 15-25°C (59-77°F) range year-round. We heat during cold months and cool during warm months to prevent temperature extremes. This is climate-controlled storage, not refrigerated storage—we don't offer temperatures below 15°C or frozen storage.
No. Our warehouse provides climate-controlled ambient storage, not refrigerated or frozen storage. If your products require active refrigeration, cold chain management, or storage below 15°C, we can recommend specialized cold storage partners in the Vancouver area. Our facility is designed for products that need protection from temperature extremes but don't require refrigeration.
Our facility is ideal for supplements and nutraceuticals, shelf-stable food products, OTC pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care items, and other products that have "store in a cool, dry place" or "protect from extreme temperatures" requirements. These products don't need refrigeration but will degrade if exposed to heat, freezing, or temperature fluctuations.
Our facility maintains food-grade storage standards appropriate for shelf-stable products. For specific certification requirements, please contact us to discuss your needs. We can provide documentation on our facility conditions and handling procedures to support your quality management and compliance requirements.
Yes. Our WMS tracks lot numbers, batch codes, and expiration dates. We implement FIFO (First In, First Out) or FEFO (First Expired, First Out) rotation based on your requirements to ensure older inventory ships first. You receive visibility into expiration dates through our client portal and reporting.
We can arrange temperature-controlled freight through our carrier network on an as-needed basis. This includes refrigerated (reefer) trucks for full truckload shipments and temperature-controlled LTL options. Let us know your requirements and we'll coordinate the appropriate transportation solution.
Check your product packaging or manufacturer specifications. If they say "store at room temperature," "store in a cool, dry place," "protect from heat," or "do not freeze," climate-controlled storage is likely appropriate. If specifications call for refrigeration or specific temperature ranges below 15°C, you'll need cold storage instead. Contact us if you're unsure—we're happy to help you determine the right solution.
