About PCNA

Four Decades of Industrial Supply, Built Direct

Since 1983, Products Corporation of North America has supplied industrial equipment and materials from Portland, Oregon — across equipment sales and rental, cargo logistics, commodities trading, and trade risk consultation.

What We Do

Four connected business lines

PCNA operates as one team across four business lines that have grown alongside each other since the company's 1983 founding, rather than as separate divisions.

Industrial Machinery & Equipment

Sales and rental of air compressors, injection molding units, and substation transformers.

Ocean & Inland Marine Cargo Services

End-to-end land and sea transport for industrial equipment and materials.

General Commodities & Merchandise

Purchase, sale, and liquidation of building materials, steel, wood, pulp, and specialty items.

Global Trade Risk Management

Customs, compliance, and insurance-claims consultation for international trade.
