OUR PAST:
Kaminski & Sons Truck Equipment
was established in 1971 by Jerry
and Kathy Kaminski under the
name Kaminski Refrigeration. It
was located at 1689 Broadway
near Bailey Avenue in Buffalo, New
York.

Since his father worked in
excavating and construction, Jerry
Kaminski grew up around heavy
trucks and equipment.
While the main focus of the company was to sell
and service transport refrigeration units to the
food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries,
Jerry and Kathy soon realized that it would be
beneficial to offer other equipment and
accessories to go along with the units.

With the new trend of the larger trucking
companies doing their own service work, they
decided it was time to move into other areas of
the trucking industry by offering more options in
house.

With the addition of their first outside salesman in
1985, talk soon revolved around getting into truck
equipment sales and service.

They acquired a refrigeration and van body line,
always looking for new ways to satisfy the needs of
their customers.

The growth of the business made it necessary to
move into a larger facility at 245 Lewis Street, a
few miles from the Broadway location.

In the fall of 1990 Jerry Jr. joined the company,
after finishing his education in truck and auto
repair and auto body repair.
Growing up in the business beside his
dad gave him a head start in fabrication
and repair, as well as interaction with
customers.

In the spring of 1993, their son Jamie
came aboard after serving four years in
the navy on the USS Nimitz during the
Gulf War. Jamie managed the sales
department and still holds that position
today. Jerry’s wife Kathy started the
business with him and works by his side
as Vice President and financial manager.

Jerry Sr. and his sons Jerry Jr. and
Jamie, they have a combined total of
over 75 years experience in truck
equipment sales and service.

Over the past twenty years, Kaminski
and Sons Truck Equipment has become
the largest and oldest locally owned
truck equipment house in Western New
York.
