Coastal Pacific Food Distributors, Inc. (CPFD) a California-based logistics powerhouse, continues to strengthen its role as a leading global provider of food and supply chain solutions. Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Stockton, CA., CPFD has grown from a regional military supplier into the second-largest worldwide distributor of food and related products to U.S. military installations.

Today, CPFD’s reach spans the Western United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Japan, Okinawa, Korea, Singapore, Kwajalein, the Philippines, and the Indian Ocean—underscoring the company’s mission to deliver dependable, tailored logistics support to one of the most complex and geographically dispersed customer bases in the world. 

Expansion in Puyallup: Scaling to Meet Growing Demand

In a move to enhance its cold chain infrastructure, CPFD recently completed a significant expansion of its Puyallup, Washington freezer facility. The building, previously 19,000 square feet, was expanded to 64,000 square feet—more than tripling its capacity. This development reflects CPFD’s proactive strategy to meet rising demand for temperature-sensitive food distribution, especially among military, 3PL, and commercial clients throughout the Pacific Northwest and Asia-Pacific regions. 

Strategically located near key ports and transit corridors, the Puyallup facility plays a pivotal role in CPFD’s cold storage network. With the expansion, the company is now better positioned to manage increased volumes while maintaining the quality and safety standards essential to perishable goods logistics.
