Steve Spencer

Pacific Seafood

Vice President

Steve Spencer is the third generation in his family to make their career in the seafood business. While still in high school Steve started and incorporated his own company, S&S Seafood. While in college Steve worked as a broker selling fresh and frozen seafood in the domestic market. Over the years through acquisitions and natural growth S&S grew to be one of the larger seafood companies in Oregon, Washington and California with its own boat and production plants in various locations.

In 1998 Steve sold S&S Seafood and all of its companies and assets to Dulcich Inc. and joined Pacific Seafood as VP of International Sales and Procurement. Steve’s first responsibilities after joining Pacific were to integrate S&S Seafood into Pacific by closing plants, merging distribution companies and transferring employees into the Pacific family.

    TPM Cold Chain: Shipper Perspectives — A Roundtable Discussion

    Following the unmitigated supply chain disaster and out-of-control pricing from 2020 to early 2022, refrigerated shippers wrung a lot of costs out of their supply chains in 2023. While that has certainly improved balance sheets and profitability, there are still plenty of problems on shippers’ plates, from cloudy supply chain visibility and service issues to changing consumer tastes and geopolitical strife. And that doesn’t even account for the unpredictable economic environment. This is a time for shippers to take stock and plan for what could be a stronger economy sometime in 2024. This session, featuring four logistics executives at shippers with very different product types, will explore where refrigerated BCOs go from here.
