Lineage operates a global network of temperature-controlled warehouses that store perishable food products and provide related supply chain services for food retailers, manufacturers, processors, and distributors worldwide. The company's primary revenue comes from charging customers for storing products—often under long-term contracts with minimum guarantees—and for warehouse services such as handling, preparation, and pallet movement; it also provides complementary transportation, rail car leasing, and fulfillment services. Lineage differentiates through its scale as the world's largest temperature-controlled warehouse operator by cubic capacity, strategic real estate locations near major ports and metropolitan markets, modern automated facilities supported by proprietary software platforms, and long-standing relationships with a highly diversified customer base, allowing it to generate stable, recurring revenues with built-in inflation protection through rate adjustment mechanisms.
