Our History

     Calvin E. Summers founded what is now C. Summers Incorporated in 1961. The focus, then as it is now, is to provide quality local cartage, transportation and warehousing of refrigerated and frozen foodstuffs.

     The family-owned company expanded and added a service and parts department early in its history. In 1969 it was incorporated as C. Summers Inc. Since 1961, C. Summers Inc. has continually reinvested back into the company not only upgrading, but by leading the way in new edge technology. 

     The business is based in Elizabethville, PA, which is where its refrigerated warehouse and storage facilities are located. We specialize in temperature controlled freight shipments. Our functional warehouse can accommodate unexpected O.S.D. freight as well as those loads in which the customer did not honor your appointment. Whatever your situation, we are here to help solve those unexpected situations.
