Novi, MI - Lineage Logistics, LLC (“Lineage”), the world’s most innovative and trusted provider of temperature-controlled supply chain solutions, today announced the $700 million acquisition of a significant minority ownership interest in the company. The organizations investing in Lineage include funds managed by Stonepeak Partners LP (“Stonepeak”), an infrastructure-focused private equity firm; D1 Capital Partners, an investment fund founded by former Viking Global Investors CIO Daniel Sundheim; and current Lineage investors. Lineage is controlled and operated by Bay Grove Capital (“Bay Grove”), a San Francisco-based owner-operator dedicated to partnering with strong management teams to build exceptional businesses.

We are excited to be actively partnering with Lineage and Bay Grove on the next phase of their growth and capital deployment into new facilities.”
