Sacramento Bag Company

Every family has a turning point—a moment when the path shifts from survival to opportunity, from the old world to the new. For the Fahn family, one of those moments came with the founding of the Sacramento Bag Company. What began as a humble venture by Fahn family members grew into a symbol of entrepreneurial spirit, grit, and the determination to build something lasting in a new land.

The company’s roots trace back to the early 20th century, when members of the Fahn family, having emigrated from Eastern Europe, settled in California’s Central Valley. Sacramento, with its growing industries and agricultural abundance, was a place where hard work could plant real seeds. Recognizing the demand for quality materials in farming and commerce, the Fahn family established a company specializing in durable, reliable bags—serving everyone from farmers and millers to industrial clients.

But the Sacramento Bag Company was never just about bags. It was about building a livelihood from scratch, about immigrant ingenuity and the belief that, with care and commitment, you could not only make a living—you could create something that supported others too. For the family, it became a point of pride: a business rooted in practicality but carried by heart and heritage.

The company’s legacy still resonates today—not only in the bags it produced, but in the story it tells about the Fahn family’s journey from a small village in Europe to the heart of California’s capital. It’s a reminder that behind every business is a family, and behind every success story are generations of courage, risk, and hope.
