Lineage expands cold storage capacity in Canada with new acquisitions and facility upgrades

Lineage expands cold storage capacity in Canada with new acquisitions and facility upgrades

Lineage, Inc. has announced the acquisition of three cold storage facilities in Quebec, as well as the expansion of three existing sites across Canada. The move strengthens the company’s position in the Canadian temperature-controlled logistics sector, which it describes as critical for the North American food supply chain.

The newly acquired sites include two freezer facilities in Sainte-Brigide-d’Iberville from Entrepôt Congelé 10/35 and affiliates, along with a separate facility in Laval. All three locations are situated near Montreal, a key distribution hub.

With these acquisitions, Lineage’s Canadian network now includes more than 30 cold storage facilities. The company said the added capacity and proximity to transportation infrastructure enhance its ability to meet growing demand for temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics solutions.

Lineage is also investing in facility expansions. On May 27, the company broke ground on an expansion at its Côte de Liesse facility in Montreal, aimed at serving customers in Quebec and Atlantic Canada. Additional projects are underway at its Foothills location in Calgary, Alberta, and in Vaughan, Ontario. The Calgary expansion will add approximately 1,500 pallet positions for blast freezing, while the Vaughan upgrade addresses demand in the Toronto area.

The combined acquisitions and expansions are expected to add over 13 million cubic feet and 68,335 pallet positions to Lineage’s Canadian capacity by mid-2026.

“Canada plays a vital role for food logistics in North America and globally,” said Matt Cramer, President, North America East at Lineage. “Through our recent acquisitions and ongoing investments in our existing facilities, we continue to expand our footprint to meet the needs of our customers.”

Case Study – Effect of Louvers or diffusers on air flow distribution and cooling time on a meat log during Chill cycle

By Kushal Aurangabadkar An experimental analysis was conducted on a cooler space measuring 3.66 m × 6.096 m (12.0 ft × 20.0 ft), equipped with an ammonia refrigeration coil, five 30 cm (12 in.) fans, and five diffusers. The study measured airflow patterns, cooling rates, and heat transfer efficiency in meat storage by testing two configurations:

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for Modular Refrigeration Systems in Life Sciences Distribution Centers

by Ramez Naguib, P.E. Introduction Life sciences distribution centers are under immense pressure to deliver consistent temperature control, comply with increasingly stringent regulations, and optimize operational efficiency. Traditional built-up refrigeration systems often prove cumbersome, costly, and slow to implement. In contrast, modular, factory-assembled refrigeration systems have emerged as a compelling alternative. Drawing on lessons from
