Lineage expands cold storage capacity at Kentucky facility

Lineage, Inc. has begun construction on an expansion of its Louisville-Winstead cold storage facility in Kentucky, aiming to increase its service capacity near key distribution corridors. The company held a groundbreaking ceremony in May to mark the start of the project.

The expansion will add over 82,000 square feet (approx. 7,620 m²) and approximately 10,300 pallet positions across two convertible rooms to the existing facility. The site currently offers temperature-controlled warehousing and integrated services including USDA and FDA inspections, railcar siding, and cross-docking.

“This 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.

Jason Mulvihill, Director of Regional Sales, added: “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.”

The facility benefits from proximity to Interstates I-65, I-64 and I-71, providing one-day access to a majority of U.S. domestic markets, according to Greater Louisville Inc.
