Lineage, the world’s largest global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, has expanded operations in Europe with the opening of a facility in Germany. Located at Fischereihafen in the heart of Bremerhaven’s food industry sector, the 19,000-square-meter coldstore has offers 40,000 pallet positions, 18 dock doors and direct quay access, enabling efficient movement of frozen and fresh seafood.
The warehouse is designed to serve as a key distribution point for imports arriving from Asia-Pacific countries, including China, before onward distribution across Europe.
“Bremerhaven is one of Europe’s most important seafood hubs and a strategically important location within our global network. This investment reflects our commitment to developing cold chain infrastructure that ensures high-quality food reaches more people with less waste.” said Claire Walters, the company’s regional vice president for the Netherlands and Germany.
“Lineage has long been a trusted partner to our business, providing the flexibility, reliability and operational expertise needed to support the movement of frozen food across complex supply chains. This investment in Bremerhaven further strengthens that partnership and will help us continue serving customers efficiently across Europe,” said Eduardo Bachiega, chief supply officer at Nomad Foods.
“The new warehouse strengthens Bremerhaven’s position as a leading European hub for seafood and international trade, while also creating new jobs and supporting its long-term economic growth,” said Kristina Vogt, senator for economic affairs, ports and transformation for the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. “Modern logistics infrastructure like this is essential to ensuring our ports remain competitive, resilient and future-focused.”
