Lineage Inc.<\/a>, a global temperature-controlled warehouse real estate investment trust (REIT), celebrated the latest expansion of its cold storage facility in Hobart, Indiana.<\/p>\n

The project added approximately 188,000 square feet of space and 58,000 pallet positions featuring next-generation automation technology to Lineage<\/a>\u2019s existing Hobart site.<\/p>\n

This is the third expansion of the building since 2008, making it the Company\u2019s largest North American facility serving multiple customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Hobart expansion represents an investment in innovation and supply chain solutions connectivity that helps our customers succeed,\u201d said Greg Bryan, Chief Integrated Solutions Officer at Lineage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of our Velocities program, this project shows how we\u2019re working alongside our customers to provide cost competitive and consistent delivery of less-than-truckload, temperature-controlled products to the marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fully automated Hobart expansion is equipped to efficiently handle thousands of cases of product daily and better serve customers participating in Lineage<\/a>\u2019s Velocities multivendor freight consolidation program. Velocities combines shipments from multiple vendors into shared truckloads shipping on a fixed sailing schedule to retailer and foodservice distribution centers across the U.S. and Canada. The program was designed to help food and beverage producers, retailers, and distributors reduce transportation costs, meet strict delivery windows and increase supply chain reliability.<\/p>\n

Several city council members, representatives from the Hobart Chamber and other local leaders attended the event. Hobart\u2019s mayor, Josh Huddlestun, delivered remarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank Lineage<\/a> for your investment into our community. You\u2019re not only […] being successful here in Hobart, but you\u2019re also investing back into our community \u2013 and those corporate community partners are really what we strive for,\u201d Huddlestun said at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to this facility being a success.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ribbon cutting ceremony was followed by a presentation of $50,000 in grants from Lineage<\/a> Foundation for Good in partnership with Henningsen Family Fund to local non-profit organizations selected by Hobart team members.<\/p>\n

The event highlighted Lineage<\/a>\u2019s commitment to strengthening the food supply chain while supporting the communities where its team members live and work.<\/p>\n

The Lineage<\/a> Foundation for Good is an independent public charity that applies supply chain expertise to humanitarian impact.<\/p>\n

By working closely with Lineage<\/a>\u2019s network \u2014 and alongside its customers, partners and team members \u2014 the Foundation works to redirect resources to communities in need while empowering employees to make a local impact.<\/p>\n

In Hobart, employees selected the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana, Phil\u2019s Friends, and the American Red Cross \u2013 Northwest Indiana Chapter as beneficiaries, reflecting the Foundation\u2019s mission to strengthen communities through employee-driven giving.<\/p>\n
