At Lineage Logistics’ 160–plus locations worldwide, you’ll find bustling warehouses with trucks, railroad cars, and cargo ships coming and going. While most people may not know what happens inside, employees will happily tell you Lineage’s purpose: “To transform the food supply chain to eliminate waste and feed the world.”
Since its founding in 2008, Lineage has become one of the world’s largest temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics companies, says Greg Lehmkuhl, president and CEO. Merging Silicon Valley innovation with the old-world business of temperature-controlled logistics, Lineage stores and moves food around the world. The company was ranked No. 23 on Fast Company’s Top 50 Most Innovative Companies, and No. 1 in the Data Science category.
