Cold chain collaboration done right: Lineage and Danpo
August 26, 2025
Some partnerships just work. They don’t need fanfare, just steady effort and clear communication. That’s been the case with Lineage (formerly Claus Sørensen AS) and Danpo/Scandi Standard.
We’ve worked together for years now. This new five-year agreement in Vejle, Denmark, is less like a fresh start and more like a natural next step. The kind of thing that happens when both sides keep showing up and getting things done.
A hub for every step: freezing, storing and shipping from Vejle
In cold chain logistics, location matters and for Danpo, Vejle sits at the heart of it all.
Fresh product arrives from Aars and heads straight into blast freezing, locking in quality and extending shelf life. Finished goods from Farre come in next, held on-site for as long as needed. Sometimes just a few weeks, sometimes months. That includes safety stock to keep distribution moving smoothly, as well as frozen raw materials that are later sent back into production.
From there, we ship where the demand is. Some product stays in Denmark. Some goes by truck across Europe. And some travels much farther, reaching markets as far away as South Korea and Hong Kong.
Cold chain meets collaboration
Every cold chain relies on precision and coordination, but great partnerships are built on something deeper: real relationships between the teams doing the work.
At Vejle, our day-to-day connection with Danpo has always been a strength. Communication is constant. Adjustments happen fast. And because we know each other’s operations so well, we’re able to anticipate needs before they become bottlenecks.
“We have strong relationships with Lineage’s top management, which gives us a unique opportunity to have our ideas and needs taken seriously and implemented.”

Built for more than just cold storage
Yes, we store product, but what we really offer is a way to keep the supply chain moving.
For Danpo, that means more than just freezer space. It means having a partner who sees the whole picture: how to reduce lead times, adapt quickly and make sure inventory is where it needs to be before it’s even needed.
That’s why this partnership works. Our team doesn’t just react, we think ahead. With ten cold storage facilities across Denmark, Lineage has the scale to support changing needs and the flexibility to do it fast.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about where product sits. It’s about where it’s going and how we help it get there.
Expanding together, built to last
Danpo/Scandi Standard are looking beyond Denmark, and Lineage is right there with them.
They’ve already set their sights on new markets like Norway and the Netherlands. On the Lineage side, we’ve been expanding too, including the recent acquisition of Permanor in Norway.
Moves like these don’t happen all at once. But when a partnership has a solid track record, it’s easier to take that next step together. The trust is already there. The rhythm is already in place.
And when both sides are growing? That’s when things really start to move.
