Lineage strengthens Polish footprint with Lębork facility expansion

Lineage, the world’s largest global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, announced today the opening of its expanded temperature-controlled facility in Lębork in the Pomorskie region (northern Poland).

Marking Lineage’s continued efforts to support customers’ demands of the fast-growing economies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the expansion increases the warehouse’s pallet space capacity by approximately 30%, boosting its total pallet space capacity to over 40,000. Mobile racking systems have also been implemented on the new site.

The opening of the expanded warehouse follows the opening of a new regional headquarters in Warsaw, Poland, in November 2023.

“We are keeping up with our commitments made to Poland, and more broadly Central and Eastern Europe, when we opened our new regional headquarters in Warsaw last year,” said Harld Peters, President of Lineage Europe. “In addition to our newly expanded Lębork facility, we also have a cold storage facility with more than 43,000 pallet positions in Gdansk, home to one of Europe’s fastest growing ports.”

“In the last decade, according to Port Gdańsk, the port of Gdańsk saw an increase of around 170% in transshipments, with roughly 68.2 million tonnes of transshipments in 2022. The Pomorskie region is clearly becoming a powerhouse of the Polish economy, and with this expansion Lineage has solidified its position as a leading temperature-controlled storage provider and integrated solutions provider in the region,” said Daniel Chudzik, Regional Vice President Operations, Central and Eastern Europe at Lineage.

Lineage entered the Polish market in 2020 following the acquisition and rebranding of Pago sp. z o.o. (“Pago”), a leading warehousing, distribution and transport logistics provider in Poland. In total, the company has a network of six warehouses across Poland, located in key transport links near Warsaw, Poznań, Katowice and Gdańsk.
