Growth in the West
A family of transportation companies
Saltchuk’s corporate home office and four of our six business units: NorthStar Energy, Saltchuk Marine, Saltchuk Aviation, and Saltchuk Logistics, call Washington home. With beginnings in maritime transportation and connection to Alaska, growth along the West Coast came first. As our company has grown, so has our footprint in the Western U.S., most recently adding two new energy distribution companies in California and Montana.
Saltchuk is proud to be ranked the largest family-owned company in Washington State by the Puget Sound Business Journal.
