Heritage & History
Cambro was founded in 1951 in Huntington Beach, California, by Clifford and Elinor Cameron, who started by manufacturing plastic products before focusing on commercial foodservice equipment. The company developed the clear polycarbonate food storage containers — stackable, transparent, available in standardized sizes — that became the universal standard for commercial kitchen food storage. Every professional kitchen in the country uses Cambro containers, and the brand has become so ubiquitous that many chefs use 'Cambro' as a generic term for any food storage container.
The Huntington Beach facility has been Cambro's manufacturing home for more than seven decades. The company remains privately held, still operating from the Southern California campus where it was founded.
Made in Huntington Beach, California
Cambro manufactures polycarbonate containers, food transport equipment, and commercial kitchen storage at the Huntington Beach, California facility. The injection molding of polycarbonate — a robust, transparent engineering plastic that withstands both commercial dishwashers and the thermal shock of hot food — requires precise mold engineering and quality control to maintain the dimensional accuracy that allows commercial kitchens to stack containers efficiently.
Huntington Beach is in Orange County on the Pacific coast, and the Cambro campus has been a landmark of Southern California manufacturing for generations. For the commercial foodservice industry — restaurants, hospitals, schools, catering operations — the certainty that Cambro containers are made in California to consistent quality standards is part of why the brand commands the loyalty it has earned over 70 years of American production.
