A Great American Success Story
Crowley was founded in 1892, when founder Thomas Crowley — the grandfather of current chairman and CEO Thomas B. Crowley Jr. — purchased an 18-foot Whitehall rowboat to provide transportation of personnel and supplies to and from ships anchored on San Francisco Bay. Expanding geographically and into new lines of business over the years, the company has grown to more than 6,300 employees worldwide with annual revenues of more than $2.5 billion.
