Hanson Logistics is being purchased by Lineage Logistics, which is the world’s largest logistics solutions provider. The family-owned St. Joseph-based Hanson was founded in 1954 and has seven distribution facilities in Michigan and Indiana. Those are able to reach more tha 60% of the U.S. population, and their integrated business segments in warehousing and transportation solutions along with Hanson’s frozen food consolidation program, Velocities, provide customers with a full suite of services at every step of the supply chain.
The acquisition of Hanson follows Lineage’s announcement of five other North American acquisitions earlier this year. In total, Lineage’s North American facility network consists of more than 250 facilities in 35 states and two Canadian provinces spanning over 1.7 billion cubic feet of temperature-controlled capacity. No purchase price has been announced.
