Lineage Logistics acquires cold storage provider SCS

Lineage Logistics LLC, a temperature-controlled supply chain management company, said today it has acquired Service Cold Storage (SCS), a Wisconsin-based cold storage provider. It also acquired four cold storage warehouses in the Southeast from an unidentified seller in a separate transaction.

The SCS acquisition will establish what Novi-based Lineage called a "flagship operation" in Wisconsin, the company's first operation in the state. Located in Stevens Point, the SCS facility has more than 11 million cubic feet of temperature-controlled storage space. Work is under way to nearly double the facility's size. Construction on a significant expansion is underway that will bring the facility footprint to nearly 20 million cubic feet.

The four warehouses are in Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Virginia.
