Englund Marine & Industrial Supply has proudly served the marine and industrial communities for 80 years, with its journey beginning in 1944 when Axel Englund opened the first store in Astoria, Oregon. The company built its reputation on the principles of quality merchandise and exceptional customer service, which continue to guide its operations today. Over the decades, Englund has expanded significantly, boasting seven retail locations along the Northwest coast, including Washington, Oregon, and California, catering to commercial fishermen and local businesses alike.
Englund Marine is not only a supplier of fishing gear but also provides essential industrial tools and safety equipment, showcasing its versatility in addressing various customer needs. Its retail footprint expanded notably, starting with the addition of stores in Ilwaco, WA, and Westport, WA, followed by Charleston, OR, and Crescent City, CA. The acquisition of U.S. Distributing in Portland in 1983 marked a critical juncture, enabling efficient supply to their retail stores and ensuring that customers have access to needed products promptly.
In 2001, Englund enhanced its industrial offerings by acquiring Fisher Brothers in Astoria. The dedication to service has led to continuous growth and the establishment of a dedicated raft shop and rigging services. Today, with a knowledgeable staff committed to providing expert advice and solutions, Englund Marine continues to uphold its legacy in the marine and industrial sectors. The company's evolution over the years reflects its ability to adapt to market changes while maintaining its core values and commitment to customer satisfaction. Celebrating 80 years of excellence, Englund Marine looks forward to serving its customers for many years to come.
