Lineage, Inc. announced on November 12, 2025 that it is adding 188,000 sq ft of fully automated storage to its Hobart, Indiana cold‑storage complex, creating 58,000 new pallet positions and expanding the facility’s capacity to handle thousands of cases of temperature‑controlled product each day.
The new space is built around Lineage’s LinOS automation platform, which streamlines picking, packing, and inventory management. By integrating the expansion into its Velocities multivendor freight‑consolidation program, Lineage can offer customers faster, more reliable service and lower handling costs, reinforcing its competitive edge in the high‑growth e‑commerce and pharmaceutical markets.
The $150 million investment also includes a $50,000 grant to local non‑profits and is expected to create more than 100 new jobs in the region. The expansion demonstrates Lineage’s commitment to both operational excellence and community impact, while positioning the company to capture additional market share in North America’s largest temperature‑controlled warehouse network.
Lineage’s expansion comes at a time when the global cold‑storage market is projected to grow at an 18.1% CAGR through 2030, driven by e‑commerce, food‑service, and biopharma demand. The company’s focus on automation and integrated logistics has helped it maintain a leading market share, and the Hobart addition strengthens its ability to scale quickly and meet rising customer volumes.
Greg Bryan, Lineage’s Chief Integrated Solutions Officer, said the Hobart project “represents an investment in innovation and supply‑chain connectivity that helps our customers succeed.” President and CEO Greg Lehmkuhl added that the expansion is part of a broader strategy to “invest in automation and technology to support customer supply‑chain initiatives.”
Lineage’s Q3 2025 earnings showed revenue of $1.37 billion, up 3% from the prior quarter, but the company posted a loss per share of $0.44. While the expansion signals long‑term growth, the recent earnings results highlight ongoing profitability challenges. The company’s management has emphasized that the new facility will help drive future revenue growth and improve operating leverage, even as it continues to navigate cost pressures and market uncertainty.
