Lineage plans to expand its Louisville-Winstead cold storage facility in Kentucky.

Once completed, the capacity expansion is expected to add more than 82,000 sq. ft. and approximately 10,300 pallet positions across two convertible rooms to the existing facility in Louisville, the company reported.

Lineage held a groundbreaking ceremony in May to celebrate the start of construction.

“Lineage’s Louisville-Winstead expansion strengthens our ability to provide cold storage solutions in the region for our customers,” Matt Cramer, president of Lineage’s North America East region, said in a news release. “As Lineage progresses in its purpose of building a stronger, more efficient cold chain, we’re thrilled to celebrate this expansion with our dedicated team members and valued customers.”

With its proximity to three major interstates and accessibility to railroads, Louisville is a key transportation hub. The highway system in Greater Louisville provides one-day access to well over 66% of the major domestic markets via Interstates 65, 64, and 71, according to Greater Louisville Inc.

Located at 7201 Winstead Dr., Lineage’s Louisville-Winstead facility, currently offers a range of temperature-controlled warehousing and integrated services, including USDA and FDA inspection services, railcar siding, and cross-docking. The expansion project is targeted for completion by the end of 2025.

“Our local team currently handles products ranging from gel packs to proteins to dairy,” said Jason Mulvihill, Lineage director of regional sales. “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.

“Additionally, our strategic location coupled with our transportation services helps provide end-to-end solutions for customers.”
