The acquisition increases Lineage’s footprint to more than 13 million square feet and 290 million cubic feet, which represents the second-largest refrigerated warehouse network globally based on data from the International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses (IARW). Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
SCS is one of the Puget Sound’s largest public refrigerated warehousing (PRW) companies and provides a breadth of service offerings including temperature-controlled storage, import/export services, retail distribution, and transportation services.

We are looking forward to building our relationship with the Port of Tacoma and providing our employees with a rewarding and safe work environment.”
