In 1963, the company sold the Portland cold storage facilities and leased the Walla Walla and American Falls operations to a company who retained the Northwestern Ice & Cold Storage Co. name. At this time, the company changed its name to Henningsen Enterprises, Inc., and retained the cold storage facility in Tacoma.

During the period of 1963 to 1973, Henningsen Enterprises, Inc., sold the Paragon Packing Co. plants, and continued to operate its oyster business and cold storage facility in Tacoma. With the proceeds from the previous sales, the company purchased and operated Rose City Sand and Gravel Co. in Portland, which was primarily a redi-mix concrete company.

A new Henningsen Cold Storage Co. emerged in 1973 under the management of the family's third generation, Michael E. Henningsen, Sr., grandson of the founder. Rented space, 25 miles west of Portland in Forest Grove, Oregon, provided the base for service to the fruit and vegetable industry of the Willamette and Tualatin Valleys. A new tilt-up concrete building was completed in 1975. Since then, the site has seen multiple expansions. The operation also offers dry storage capacity. Land for expansion and/or manufacturing facilities compliment the blast and room freezing, freezer and cooler storage, and customized handling services the operation provides to an ever expanding customer base.

Determined to regain a more extensive customer base in the frozen food industry, the companyclosed its oyster business, sold the Tacoma cold storage facility in 1977, and constructed a new, state of the industry warehouse in Twin Falls, Idaho the following year. This facility services the needs of the potato and vegetable producers in southern Idaho. The production associated with the harvest of corn and the high volume of processed potatoes presented the first real challenge of distribution warehousing. It now serves as a consolidation and distribution point for processed potatoes shipped directly to customers throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico, and overseas. After it's fourth expansion, the Twin Falls facility is now Henningsen's largest operation, offering over 12 million cubic feet of frozen storage space.

The opportunity to construct a third location happened in 1982, in Richland, Washington. This facility, too, serves as a distribution center for the processed potatoes grown in the fertile eastern Washington Columbia Basin area. Expansion in 1985 added blast freezing capabilities, allowing greater utilization of space and services by a growing number of customers. This facility also provides customers with the flexibility of two railroad lines; the Union Pacific Railroad and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe.

In 1993 Henningsen Cold Storage Co. expanded, for the first time, outside the Pacific Northwest. In the summer of 1993 a new warehouse was completed in Stilwell, Oklahoma. This facility offers warehousing and distribution services throughout the mid-south region of the United States.

Growing customer demands in the upper midwest prompted the expansion of the company into an existing cold storage facility in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. The company later closed this facility after another expansion in the region.

In 1996, the company opened its second operation in the Portland metropolitan area. This facility is ideally located to meet the distribution needs of national and international customers throughout the Pacific Northwest. Located on the major interstate freeway serving the Portland area, and on the Union Pacific Railroad line, the Portland operation also provides warehouse space and services for many local and regional processors. The facility was expanded in 1998 to it's present capacity of nearly four million total cubic feet of fully convertible warehouse space.

In order to service both the production warehousing and distribution needs of an international potato processing company, Henningsen constructed a new facility in Grand Forks, North Dakota in 1999. This facility incorporated the latest radio frequency technology, a rapid truck unloading system, and specialized rail and truck loading docks into its design.

The company purchased a facility from Kane Warehousing, Inc. in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 2001. The Scranton facility offers both refrigerated and frozen warehousing space and services. Ideally located for Northeastern U.S. distribution, the operation is located in the heart of over 60% of the nation’s the population base, Scranton is within four hours of every major metropolitan area from Washington D.C. to Boston, Massachusetts. This facility added 3.2 million cubic feet of temperature-controlled space to the Henningsen network, and brings the company’s total capacity to 36 million cubic feet.

Over seventy-eight years and four generations later, Henningsen Cold Storage Co. is now one of the largest public refrigerated warehousing companies in North America. The company is very active in the frozen food industry with participation in the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI), the National Frozen Food Association (NFFA), Northwest Food Processors Association, International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses (IARW), The World Food Logistics Organization (WFLO), and The World Group. We are eager to respond to growth and expansion opportunities, and are constantly striving to provide the highest quality level of services for our customers and the industries we serve.
