Ness Early Days

At Ness Holding Company, we’re celebrating 80 great years of serving the food industry. Starting in 1939 in Portland, Oregon, Ness Holding Company Co. Inc., has been involved in manufacturing, importing, brokerage, distribution, warehousing and transportation services, all focused on excellent customer service and the safe handling of food and temperature-sensitive products.

In 1987, Ness Holding Company purchased a majority ownership of Kool Pak, LLC, where Steve Ness serves as president of both firms. The company has continued to expand since that time, currently with five west coast locations. From those temperature-controlled facilities, Kool Pak provides refrigerated transportation and logistics services throughout the continental US and Canada.
