The Lone Star State is Lineage Logistics’ latest target for growth. The industry partner recently announced that it has opened its newest facility in Lancaster, Texas, which brings the company’s footprint in Texas to nearly 20 facilities spanning approximately 192 million cubic feet of capacity.
“We’re proud to announce the opening of our Lancaster site, an exciting new addition to our state-of-the-art network of facilities in the state of Texas,” said Brian Beattie, President of North America West Operations. “Texas, more specifically Dallas, is a critical connecting point in the supply chain, and we’re thrilled to bring more innovative thinking and dynamic technology to this community to help optimize distribution, drive efficiencies, and minimize waste across our customers’ businesses.”
The 343,250-square-foot site will address a range of customer needs and demands with more than 25,000 pallet positions and a user-friendly rack configuration that is designed to handle high SKU counts and intensive case-picking. Once fully operational, the new site will create more than 65 new jobs to support operations, according to a press release.
The new Lancaster location offers cross-docking, order management, case picking, EDI, redistribution, freight consolidation, managed transportation, trans-loading, drop trailers, and an on-site generator.
Lineage’s footprint in Texas currently includes 18 sites in key cities like Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, McAllen, and San Antonio. The Sunnyvale location, which was announced in 2018, is one of the most innovative facilities in the company’s network and features patented automation and blast-freezing technologies.
