Lineage celebrates groundbreaking of cold storage facility expansion in Kentucky
The expansion is expected to add more than 82,000 square feet and approximately 10,300 pallet positions.
Lineage Inc. is expanding its Louisville-Winstead cold storage facility in Louisville, Ky. This project is the latest example of Lineage’s ongoing commitment to support the evolving needs of customers by adding capacity near key distribution markets.
Once completed, the expansion is expected to add more than 82,000 square feet and approximately 10,300 pallet positions across two convertible rooms to the existing Louisville-Winstead facility. The Company held a groundbreaking ceremony in May to celebrate the start of construction.
“Lineage’s Louisville-Winstead expansion strengthens our ability to provide cold storage solutions in the region for our customers,” said Matt Cramer, president of Lineage’s North America East region. “As Lineage progresses in its purpose of building a stronger, more efficient cold chain, we’re thrilled to celebrate this expansion with our dedicated team members and valued customers.”
“Our local team currently handles products ranging from gel packs to proteins to dairy. This expansion will enable our team to continue delivering best-in-class service while allowing us to offer additional capacity and multiple holding temperatures for greater flexibility,” said Jason Mulvihill, director of regional sales at Lineage. “Additionally, our strategic location coupled with our transportation services helps provide end-to-end solutions for customers.”
With its proximity to three major interstates and accessibility to railroads, Louisville is a key transportation hub. The highway system in Greater Louisville provides one-day access to well over 66 percent of the major domestic markets via Interstates I-65, I-64 and I-71, according to Greater Louisville Inc.
Located at 7201 Winstead Drive, Lineage’s Louisville-Winstead facility, currently offers a range of temperature-controlled warehousing and integrated services including USDA and FDA inspection services, railcar siding, and cross-docking. The expansion will build upon these offerings and further strengthen Lineage’s presence in the region as a trusted cold chain logistics partner.
The expansion project is targeted for completion by the end of 2025. To learn more about Lineage and its global facility network, visit onelineage.com.
