Salem Tent & Awning Company History

Salem, OR 97304

Phone: (503) 363-4788

Since its founding in 1890, Salem Tent & Awning Company has been owned and operated in Oregon by three generations of the same family. Frank Monner moved the business from its location in Portland to its current home in Salem in 1925. Frank handed the reins over to his son, Ernest, in 1943. Since Ernie's retirement in 1976, the business has been run by his long-time employee and friend, Gary Griesen, and his son-in-law, Terry Watson.

Gary and Terry are committed to bringing the best quality and selection of packing equipment available anywhere. They personally use, abuse, and approve every piece of equipment Salem Tent & Awning sells. With more than 25 years of packing experience behind them, Gary and Terry have contributed to the design specifications for all their custom-made items. The products that Salem Tent & Awning carries have come about primarily from listening to customers like you.
