Lineage opens cold store in France

Harnes, France: Lineage has opened a new cold store in Harnes, France.

The new Harnes site, in the Hauts-de-France region, “is a key node in Lineage’s smart global cold chain network and a testament to our commitment to helping service our customers’ needs”, said Harld Peters, president, Lineage Europe.

Lineage’s Harnes II is automated with guided vehicles to connect with additional storage at the existing warehouse on-site, Harnes I. “We are enhancing cold chain connections and driving efficiency for our customers,” said Raúl Fores Valles, regional vice president, southern Europe, Lineage.

“Harnes II benefits from strong support from our nearby warehouse in Arrás, which serves as a satellite facility for occasional needs and has a primary focus on picking services. We are excited to provide our customers with the added value of these two complementary sites,” said Valles said.

In 2021 Lineage acquired Kloosterboer Group, including its sites in France, Netherlands, and Germany. “The newest Harnes facility, strategically located in the Hauts-de-France region, is a key node in Lineage’s smart global cold chain network and a testament to our commitment to helping service our customers’ needs,” said Harld Peters, president, Lineage Europe.
