Lineage buys Partner Logistics to offer automated warehousing services
TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED warehousing company Lineage Logistics has acquired Netherlands-based cold storage provider Partner Logistics for an undisclosed amount, in a bid to broaden its automation strategy.
With the acquisition of Partner, Lineage will add 101 million cubic feet of temperature-controlled capacity and expand its operations to include six fully automated warehouses and one conventional warehouse in the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom.
Partner's network of cold storage facilities has a total capacity of 500,000 pallets and is designed to maximise the efficiency and cost effectiveness of their customers' supply chains, said Lineage, reported American Shipper.
"Our acquisition of Partner Logistics represents Lineage's ongoing commitment to serving our customers' global supply chains by delivering dynamic, sophisticated cold chain logistics solutions," Lineage president and CEO Greg Lehmkuhl said of the deal.
"We are thrilled to welcome the Partner team and are confident their incredible industry expertise, particularly in automation, will accelerate Lineage as a thought leader in this area with existing and new customers."
Earlier this year, Lineage announced plans to construct its first automated cold storage facility in Texas and will use the new acquisition as an additional platform for new automated projects in US and European markets.
