About

Relocalize is revolutionizing retail food supply chains with distributed networks of fully autonomous hyperlocal micro-factories. RELO micro-factories produce fresher, greener, and more affordable packaged foods and beverages. They co-locate food production, packaging, and distribution in close proximity to distribution centers to achieve localized fulfillment, eliminating needless "middle mile" transportation, a driver of climate change. Robotics, automation technology, and novel waste-reduction solutions make it possible to efficiently decentralize production while exceeding the highest standards of quality, safety, and sustainability. Currently, the company specializes in producing a revolutionary new standard of cubed ice, but its goal is to expand to every store aisle, thus decarbonizing and strengthening supply chains. At Relocalize, we believe that distributed automated food production will transform access to quality products while significantly reducing both the environmental and economic costs of production and distribution, disrupting the traditional packaged ice market.
