Lineage expects to strengthen its Nordic network with groundbreaking of an expansion of Vejle facility in Denmark

March 06, 2024

Vejle, Denmark – March 6, 2024 Lineage (the “Company”), one of the world’s leading temperature-controlled industrial REITs and integrated solutions providers, announces the groundbreaking of an expansion of its Campus Vejle facility in Denmark to support meeting demands of its customers in the frozen food sector.

The strategic location of Lineage Campus Vejle forms gravity centre for customers importing and exporting frozen food products cross-border. This is because Vejle serves as a central point, with a large part of the frozen retail market concentrated within a 30-kilometer radius. The city itself serves as a large hub for Danish retailers. Moreover, Vejle provides efficient access to major ports in the region, such as Aarhus and Hamburg, enhancing customers' connectivity for their logistical needs.

Lineage’s expansion of the frozen food facility is expected to include 10,000 EUR pallet spaces to help cater for requirements of existing customers. The existing Campus Vejle facility offers blast freezing, often an important feature for food producers, as well as case picking, ensuring safe and efficient product handling and packing for retail customers.

“The groundbreaking of our Vejle expansion marks Lineage’s continued efforts to support our customers' global supply chains,” said Harld Peters, President of Lineage Europe.

Carsten Wolf, Regional Vice President Nordic Region at Lineage said: “We recognize the significant concentration of frozen food products moving into and out of the region. The expansion of our Vejle facility is expected to help allow us to effectively address the needs of our customers, extending not only to retailers but also to food producers and suppliers who seek proximity to their end customers.”

Lineage entered the Nordic region of Europe in 2020 with the acquisition of Kanalholmen 15 (“Kanalholmen”), a large cold storage facility located in the Avedøre Holme industrial area of Hvidovre. Currently, Lineage operates a robust network of  temperature-controlled logistics facilities across Denmark and Norway.
