Overview
The history of McLane Company is a remarkable story of dedicated teammates, loyal customers, and visionary leaders working together to build a small wholesale grocery distribution company in Cameron, Texas into a leading supply chain services company.

A pioneer in the retail grocery business, Robert McLane opened a small retail grocery store in 1894. Encouraged by his success, he moved into the wholesale trade by 1903. After three generations of McLane family leadership, the company was sold in 1990. Since 2003, McLane has been a holding of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.

Today, McLane is one of the nation's leading supply chain service companies, serving more than 60,000 customer locations around the world including the convenience store, mass merchandise, quick service restaurant, and drug store industries.

How did a small business operating in the heart of Texas become a leader in the industry? Sound management, leadership, innovation, teammate loyalty, attention to changing trends, and courage to pioneer new markets all contributed to our success. At the forefront has been a code of Beliefs and Values - Honesty, Integrity, and High Christian Principles.

McLane continues to grow, providing our customers with world-class procurement, logistics, merchandising, and technology services. We are our customers' supply chain advantage in action.
