One hundred years ago, the Erickson family started a produce supply business in Aberdeen. Now, four generations later, Harbor Foods is the largest independent distributor in the Northwest and the fifth-largest family-owned business in Washington. Now headquartered in Lacey, the company continues to grow, most recently with the acquisition of MTC Distributing, a California grocery distributor which is also family owned. 'This is an incredible opportunity to bring our family companies together into the fourth generation and beyond, maintaining and enhancing the culture that's made MTC and Harbor successful for a century,' Harbor Foods CEO Justin Erickson said when the deal was announced in November.
