Family Business History

Charlie Canning Sr., fondly known as “Pops”, started Pine State Trading in 1941 with the deep-seated belief that the best way to grow his company was to help his customers grow theirs. Three generations later, that belief still drives our company. In 1960, Charlie’s sons—Charlie Jr. and Jack—joined the company. Building on their father’s legacy, Charlie and Jack kept two things in mind – if they wanted to reap, they had to sow. And sow they did: They sowed enduring relationships with employees and vendors, business owners and buyers throughout New England.
