JACKSONVILLE, Fla. and NOVI, Mich., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BSF, a leading seafood processor and distributor, and Lineage, Inc., the world's largest global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, announced on Wednesday, September 23, a two-year extension of their commercial agreement, continuing a relationship that spans nearly 25 years. The extension runs through June 30, 2028.

Under the renewed agreement, Lineage will continue to manage warehousing and distribution operations for BSF, which stores more than 800 cooked and raw seafood SKUs across two dedicated facilities built specifically to serve the seafood company's needs. BSF, which rebranded from Beaver Street Fisheries earlier this year, ships to major food retailers and food service companies nationwide.

"Lineage is a company we consider family, not just a vendor," said Mark Frisch, CEO of BSF. "Lineage has grown with us for 25 years, building facilities around our business and standing with us through every challenge, including helping us recover a load of stolen crab earlier this year. As we rebrand and expand the company, we needed a partner we could trust to grow with us, and that's exactly what we have in Lineage."

BSF's operations are known for their complexity, including last-minute order requests and multi-stop, consolidated loads. Working with Lineage has maintained strong service metrics: 100% advance shipping notice (ASN) compliance at both facilities, a 99.99% order fill rate, minimal claims, and on-time delivery scores of 95% or above for retail and foodservice shipments. Average turn times run about 35 minutes overall, with the most complex multi-stop trucks, those carrying 30 to 40 pallets and 15 to 50 individual items, averaging closer to 50 minutes.

"BSF is one of the clearest examples of what our partnership model is built to do," said Tim Smith, Chief Commercial Officer of Lineage. "They process and distribute frozen seafood out of their Jacksonville facility and rely on us to help them meet multi-week inventory requirements by retailers and foodservice operators across a national footprint covering all 48 contiguous states. Extending this agreement through 2028 reflects the trust BSF has placed in Lineage, and we don't take that lightly."

Ryan Laurent, Vice President, Business Development of Lineage, said the relationship's longevity reflects the depth of collaboration between the two companies.

"Twenty-five years, two purpose-built facilities and a track record of solving problems together is the basis of this relationship," Laurent said. "BSF operates with a level of precision and passion that few companies match, and our teams have built the kind of trust that lets us move fast when it matters, whether that's a last-minute order or recovering a stolen shipment. We're proud to help BSF serve as a supplier of choice to major retailers, and we're looking forward to supporting the company's next chapter as it grows beyond seafood."
