“Kloosterboer’s strategy is to be an integrated supply chain partner for its customers, which is leading us in the direction of building multiple new locations in a short period of time. Because the Nordics are not a key development market in this strategy, we are pleased to sell Kloosterboer Norway to Lineage,” explained Stephane Pluenet, Kloosterboer’s Executive Director of Automation.

Lineage first entered into the Norwegian market in October 2020 and into the overall Scandinavian region in June 2020. With the acquisition of the new facility, Lineage will continue its strategic expansion of facilities across Europe.
