History of Holt Paper's Baltimore location:

Located in southwest Baltimore, we opened in April 1989. From this location Holt can service Maryland, Washington D.C., Northern Virginia, West Virginia and Southern Pennsylvania.

John Holt brought his vision of service and quality from the eastern shore of Maryland to Baltimore. Holt Paper and Chemical Company began on the eastern shore in Salisbury Maryland in 1959. Taking experience and instruction from his Father, John Holt knows the jansan and food service distribution business. His idea of eastern shore hospitality along with brand name products and a professional approach to sales has been Holt Baltimore’s motivating theme.

Holt Paper and Chemical Company is the ”leader in quality and service”.

History of Our Salisbury Location:

The Holt Company was founded by John T. Holt, Jr. and commenced operations in 1960.  It began solely as a paper and janitorial supply house and remained as such for the next thirty-eight years.  In 1995 Mr. Holt retired and his son, John T. Holt, III, took over as majority owner and Chief Executive Officer of the business.

In 1998, Holt expanded its operations by creating a food division.  This division sells a broad range of food products, including dry, refrigerated, and frozen items as well as produce, smallwares, and other food-related products. Holt also works with a processor of fresh beef, pork, and poultry that allows Holt to have custom cut products readily available. Holt currently has an exclusive program on Ridgefield Hereford Beef which allows penetration in the white tablecloth trade.

Holt primary customers include the independent restaurant, general business and industry, schools, hospitals, and government agencies, healthcare facilities, cleaning contractors, casinos and hotels, and certain chain businesses.  Holt services its customers by delivering to the entire Eastern Shore of Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.

As our many satisfied customers know, Holt offers not only services and products on which you can rely on, but also dependable convenient and cost-effective partnerships that will help your business succeed.
