Lineage Logistics, a Colton, Calif.-based warehousing and logistics company backed by Bay Grove Capital LLC, San Francisco, completed the acquisition of Loop Cold Storage, McAllen, Texas; Oneida Cold Storage and Warehouse, Henderson, Colo.; and Millard Refrigerated Services, Omaha, Neb., which was previously announced in March. With these three acquisitions, Lineage Logistics expands its national cold storage footprint to more than 544 million cubic feet and a facility network of 102 facilities in 21 states.
