PHT Investment Group

PHT Investment Group is a private investment firm focused on transforming the U.S. fresh produce post-harvest supply chain. The firm invests in and operates mission-critical cold chain infrastructure, including pre-cooling, cold storage, logistics, and enabling technologies, to reduce food waste and enhance product quality. Their inaugural fund, PHT Growth Fund LP, targets approximately $500 million to modernize and scale America's first-mile cold chain.

The firm's investment strategy centers on acquiring and developing companies within the temperature-controlled food supply chain, such as cold storage, pre-cooling, transportation, logistics, and distribution. By institutionalizing this fragmented sector, PHT aims to address infrastructure gaps, extend produce shelf life, reduce waste, and generate stable cash flow and long-term value.

Under the leadership of Founder & CEO Dr. Jim White, PHT has achieved significant growth, with operating companies delivering 247% revenue growth and 220% EBITDA growth from 2017 to 2024 without outside capital. This track record underscores their commitment to innovation, disciplined execution, and strong financial management in the fresh produce supply chain.
