About Us
Our Family’s Business Roots go Back to 1932
The Brown family’s business roots go back to 1932, when Israel Brown founded a trucking company called National Freight. Over decades of growth and expansion, National Freight, now NFI, is a leading North American third-party logistics company with over 18,000 employees. Today, the company is run by the third-generation owners, Sid, Ike, and Jeff Brown, and the fourth-generation, who also play prominent roles throughout the business.
The family has also owned, operated, and invested in several closely held businesses, ultimately leading to the creation of 1932 Capital.
Our Approach
At 1932 Capital, we seek out businesses driven by the same passion, integrity, and forward-thinking approach that has defined our family’s success. We are operators at heart, and our approach is centered on doing the right thing for each business along with the people at each business. We view each investment with a long-term mindset and operate with the flexibility to make the best decisions for each company.
