Our History

Our founder, Chester W. Hahn Sr. started the Hahn Paper Supply Company in Cleveland, Ohio. After the sale of the Paper Distribution Company, his son, Chester W. Hahn Jr. started the current sales organization, The CW Hahn Co. in 1968 with the first ever foodservice film from Borden Foods. His son-in-law, Jeff McKenney purchased the company in 1983 and now heads this forth generational family organization totaling nine people including six family members. The company has expanded from our Ohio territory to our present position servicing distributors and many of the leading multi-unit and national chain restaurants across the country.

In early 2016, a new division was founded, McKenney Enterprises, LLC as an additional sales and distribution arm of the CW Hahn Company. McKenney Enterprises offers custom manufacturing, importing, and consolidated distribution to its diverse group of business partners.
