Haines Packing Company is a fish processing plant established in 1917. It's the oldest continuously operating business in Haines and processes salmon, crab, halibut, and shrimp seasonally from March-November. Haines Packing Company is the last surviving waterfront warehouse and dock out of the twelve canneries that historically operated in the Chilkat Valley.
