Lineage, a leading global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT and integrated solutions provider, has announced that an expansion is underway at its facility located at 2201 Northwind Parkway in Hobart, Indiana.
As planned, the expansion will transform the current Hobart site with the addition of a fully automated warehouse spanning more than 188,000 square feet with approximately 58,000 pallet positions and featuring advanced automation capabilities for entry, exit and layer picking, optimizing the collection process and organizing thousands of cases daily.
“We are excited about the expansion of our Hobart warehouse, which will allow us to better serve our customers delivering to the retail and foodservice markets,” said Greg Bryan, director of integrated solutions at Lineage. “This significant investment will not only bring more automation and innovation to our network, but will also help accelerate our efforts with the Velocities MVC program that has proven successful in optimizing customer shipments and scheduled deliveries.”
Lineage’s Velocities Multi-Vendor Consolidation (MVC) program offers a comprehensive logistics solution for retail and foodservice customers, seamlessly integrating transportation and warehousing services. This program optimizes inventory management, consolidating customer shipments into efficient truck loads, providing cost-effective load-sharing deliveries, improving delivery times, and streamlining operations through a single 3PL provider.
The existing Hobart facility already hosts one of the region’s Velocities MVC programs and serves as a link in Lineage’s cross-border program in Canada. The site expansion will help centralize these operations and provide additional capacity to customers, improving efficiencies in supply chains to provide better service and growth opportunities.
The Hobart site is expected to have almost 100,000 traditional and automated pallet position spaces and 76 dock doors in total once the expansion is complete. Lineage anticipates that more than 100 new jobs will be created as a result of this project. The expansion is expected to be operational in summer 2025.
