Kerr Pacific Corp.

About Kerr Pacific Corp.

The Kerr family involvement in the grain and flour milling industries extends over five generations beginning with Peter Kerr’s arrival from Scotland in 1892 to export Pacific Northwest wheat around Cape Horn to Europe. Kerr Gifford & Company, Inc. grew into the largest grain exporter and merchandiser on the West Coast at the time of its sale to Cargill in 1953. Peter Kerr’s nephew, Tom Kerr, founded Kerr Grain Company in 1954, later evolving into Kerr Pacific Corp. as the company’s focus transitioned to flour milling and foodservice distribution.
