Lineage celebrates Pennsylvania warehouse

Nov. 1, 2024
Fully automated new cold storage facility in Hazle Township strategically located to serve 60 million people with 386,000 sq. ft. and 85,000 pallet positions for temperature-controlled food products.

Lineage recently celebrated the grand opening of its new, fully automated cold storage warehouse in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania.

The “next-generation” facility features advanced technology that delivers added value for Lineage’s customers and a stronger supply chain for consumers, the company reported. The warehouse is strategically positioned to help feed approximately 60 million people—or about 18% of the U.S. population—within a 250-mile radius. It also complements Lineage’s existing cold storage network in Pennsylvania.

Leaders from Lineage, Greater Hazleton CAN DO, and Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside many Lineage team members Oct. 29 to mark the occasion.

“Finding solutions to problems in the food supply chain by using innovation is at the heart of everything we do at Lineage,” Sudarsan Thattai, Lineage chief information and transformation officer, said in a news release. “To us, innovation is not just a buzzword but a driving force behind our efforts to create a better and stronger supply chain.

“The new fully automated Hazleton facility marks another significant addition to our automated network, furthering our purpose of delivering food safely and reliably to millions of families around the globe.”

Lineage’s Hazleton facility spans approximately 386,000 sq. ft. and includes approximately 85,000 pallet positions for handling and storing temperature-controlled food products. The building is equipped with “cutting-edge” technology and automation, including cranes and rail-guided vehicles used to store, move and retrieve products within the warehouse. Additionally, inbound lanes feature Lineage’s proprietary computer vision tech that automates the receiving process for greater speed and accuracy.

The Hazleton facility also offers automated layer picking, which enables additional operational efficiencies for customers with large SKU offerings.
