Lineage Celebrates Opening of New Cold Storage Facility in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand

August 28, 2025

NAPIER, New Zealand – Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ: LINE) (the “Company”), the world’s largest global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, has officially opened a new cold storage facility in Hawke’s Bay, expanding its footprint in one of New Zealand’s most important food-producing regions. 

Located at 48 Johnston Way within the Whakatu Industrial Park, the facility adds 5,500 pallet positions of capacity to Lineage’s existing campus in the region. The site is strategically positioned to support both domestic and export supply chains and has been designed with multi-temperature storage capabilities to serve a wide range of customer needs. It is built to meet internationally recognised food safety standards and is purpose-built for use predominantly by ZIWI, a leading pet food company.

To mark the opening, Lineage hosted a customer event in central Napier. Attendees included representatives from leading food producers and exporters, project partners, local government, hapū representatives, and the Lineage New Zealand team. A separate on-site gathering was held for employees who will be working at the facility.

“This is an important step in our growth in New Zealand and the broader Asia-Pacific region,” said Brooke Miller, Lineage President for Asia Pacific. “Investing in infrastructure like this strengthens the resiliency of the supply chain and reinforces our long-term ability to support our customers and New Zealand’s role as a global food exporter. By expanding in Hawke’s Bay, we are also strengthening partnerships and delivering solutions that create value for our customers.”  

This milestone underscores Lineage’s commitment to supply chain resiliency and to supporting the producers and exporters who are critical to New Zealand’s food industry.

Lineage operates 26 facilities in New Zealand.
