New Orleans Cold Storage

What New Orleans Cold Storage does

Lineage, Inc. is a publicly reporting global operator of temperature-controlled cold storage warehousing and integrated cold chain logistics, headquartered in Novi, Michigan. The company serves enterprise customers across food manufacturing, fresh and perishable products, importers/exporters, foodservice, and specialty cold chain segments (including hazmat-classified products), with facilities spanning the Southeastern U.S., Southern California, Canada, and the Netherlands. It self-describes as a "worldwide leader in cold storage and logistics" and maintains an Investor Relations function consistent with public-company status.

The business operates through two principal service pillars. Global Warehousing covers cold storage, port-centric, automated, built-to-suit, and sustainable warehousing, plus fresh/perishable solutions, food processing and manufacturing (including juice processing), and supply chain engineering. Global Integrated Solutions covers managed transportation, freight forwarding, drayage, customs brokerage, less-than-truckload shipping, foodservice solutions, temperature-controlled rail, and direct-to-consumer fulfillment. The proprietary Lineage Link® platform is the customer-facing layer for managing cold chain operations and accessing network capacity, while data science capabilities are deployed for supply chain network optimization and cost reduction.

Revenue is generated across four streams: subscription/recurring cold storage warehousing, transaction-fee managed transportation and DTC fulfillment, managed-services food processing and manufacturing, and built-to-suit/customized infrastructure engagements. The go-to-market is sales-led, targeting enterprise and mid-market customers through direct sales, supplemented by a self-serve Find a Facility portal for prospect identification.
