Spotlight on Lineage in Texas: powering global trade from the Lone Star State

Cover more ground through Texas

Everything is bigger in Texas, including its role in the global food supply chain. With a footprint that stretches from Dallas to Houston, San Antonio and the U.S.–Mexico border, Lineage’s 18 Texas facilities form one of the most connected cold chain networks in the nation.

Texas serves as both a gateway and a bridge: a hub for imports arriving from Mexico, South America and the Asia–Pacific region, and a launch point for goods bound for markets across the United States. From high-volume port operations to automated inland hubs, Lineage helps food move efficiently through every mile of this vast region with Texas-sized reliability.

Built for reach and resilience

Texas is defined by its size and the distance between major markets across the state. Moving goods from Houston to El Paso or McAllen to Dallas can take an entire day, making a connected network essential for speed and scalability. Lineage’s Texas operations help close those gaps, linking maritime ports, rail corridors and highways into one integrated cold chain.

Key cold storage and logistics services across Texas

• Foodservice redistribution and Velocities multivendor consolidation
• Automation and large yards with container plug-ins
• Customs brokerage and bonded warehousing
• Over-the-road and rail transportation connecting major metro area
• Cross-border import/export management and compliance support

This infrastructure gives shippers the solutions needed to streamline their operations and the flexibility to scale up quickly. Allowing them to easily adjust routing when markets shift and maintain confidence that every load stays protected and on schedule.

Connected for scalability

When it takes hours to drive from one Texas city to another, a truly connected network becomes a competitive advantage. Lineage’s statewide infrastructure brings together inland distribution, port-centric storage and cross-border logistics under one connected system.

With facilities spanning Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and McAllen, customers can move product seamlessly between production sites, ports and retail destinations. Whether food is crossing from Mexico into McAllen or shipping from Houston’s ports to the Midwest, Lineage’s network provides the visibility, scale and reliability needed to keep the supply chain moving.
