Louis Kemp® began meeting the seafood needs of consumers more than 60 years ago. It all started in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1930, when Aron and Abe Kemp, founders of A. Kemp Fisheries, began transporting fresh Lake Superior fish to markets in Chicago.

Almost 40 years later, in 1967, Louis Kemp took over as president and soon expanded the business to Alaska, where the company started processing salmon and herring.
