The company offers a diversified suite of warehousing solutions including cold storage warehousing, port-centric warehousing, automated warehousing, built-to-suit warehousing, and sustainable warehousing. Lineage partners with food and beverage companies to help make the cold chain more reliable and sustainable.

Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ:LINE) clearly leads the industry with its network of more than 480 strategically located facilities totaling over 84 million square feet and nearly 3 billion cubic feet of capacity across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America.

Lineage has built one of the largest standalone global cold storage companies from a single warehouse in just over a decade. Thus, the firm has a proven expansion and development track record with a robust pipeline.

Considering the fact that cold storage is a large, growing, and recession-resistant market, the future of Lineage seems bright. The firm can capitalize on favorable long-term trends the market has to offer. These include a more than 60% increase in food production which will be required to feed 1.9 billion more people by 2050 while the frozen food market is also expected to grow over the next few years. An increased reliance on cold storage is another industry dynamic in the firm’s favor.
