The Size of Our Network is Your Not-So-Secret Advantage

In today’s global food supply chain, conditions change fast. Weather events, shifting demand, port delays and tariff tumult can create logistics chaos overnight. Lineage customers don’t have neatly ordered, predictable days or the luxury of time.

That’s where the scope and size of Lineage’s network can be a game changer. While for some organizations, “big” is a negative—standing in for slow, bureaucratic and disconnected; at Lineage, the fact that we are the biggest player in our industry is actually a strategic advantage for our customers. Lineage’s scale—in terms of buildings, solutions and people power—helps customers move faster, grow smarter and stay resilient, whether they’re managing a spike in demand or preparing for long-term expansion.

Here’s how our global footprint, warehousing capacity, integrated transportation solutions and extensive team of experts help our customers’ food supply chains stay agile, efficient and ready to adapt.

A network built for speed and reach

Lineage operates over 480 facilities across 19 countries. That global presence isn’t just a number. It means your business has access to the locations and services you need, wherever your supply chain takes you.

When a port is backed up or a shipment needs to be rerouted, we are already nearby with an alternative. Our teams are trained to act quickly, and our systems are built to stay coordinated. Whether you are moving food through Los Angeles, Rotterdam or Melbourne, you are backed by one of the most connected cold chain networks in the world.

More facilities mean more options. It means you aren’t relying on a single path to market. It means we can move product closer to your customers and respond fast when plans change.

In a world where demand shifts daily, Lineage’s footprint gives you more paths forward.

More space, more flexibility, fewer surprises

Cold storage needs aren’t static. One month, you may need overflow support. The next, it’s long-term storage with strict handling requirements. Smaller providers often offer a single solution and hope it fits. At Lineage, we build around your needs, and we plan for change.

Our warehousing network includes automated facilities designed for speed and accuracy, built-to-suit sites tailored to your specifications, port-centric hubs that bring product closer to the dock and conventional cold storage warehouses equipped to handle frozen, refrigerated and fresh products. At many locations, we also provide blast freezing, repacking, co-packing, labeling and other value-added services, all integrated into the same sites where your inventory is stored.

When demand goes viral or harvests beat expectations, we don’t just say “yes.” We say yes because we’re already prepared. That’s the difference.

Supporting scale at the speed of demand

Sometimes scale comes as planned. Sometimes it comes faster than expected. Either way, having a cold chain partner with the space, services and people ready to move makes all the difference.

That’s where our global footprint becomes a true advantage. With hundreds of facilities across key markets, Lineage can flex quickly to match growing volume, shifting supply or a change in distribution strategy. Whether it means opening up additional storage, expanding transportation lanes or finding smarter ways to route product, we help customers grow without slowing down.

When one of our customers saw a rapid increase in harvest yield, we helped them scale their cold storage footprint across the U.S., mobilized transportation and kept product moving, all without disruption.
