About Us

Johnston Trading, Inc. was founded in 1979 by one of its current owners, Jim Johnston. The company first operated in Davis, California, brokering lumber and pallet stock to the agricultural industry in California.

Late in 1979 Mr. Johnston was called upon by American Home Foods to develop a bin for storing and shipping tomato products. Soon after completing the design task, Jim was asked to manufacture 2,500 bins for the tomato season. For the next thirty years the company grew into the most progressive bin supply company in the industry.
