IPO Details

About Lineage


Lineage’s journey began with the acquisition of a cold storage warehouse, Seafreeze, in 2008. Since then, it has grown exponentially, with 111 facilities in 21 states, and is ranked as the second largest temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics company in the United States.

Lineage Logistics also ranks 23rd in Fast Company’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies.

The warehousing giant, which services household names like Amazon, Walmart, and PepsiCo, has boosted its revenue 38% over the past 7 years, anchored, in part, by the company’s decision to invest in Michigan as its place to do business.
