About Al Naish Moving and Storage LLC of Cincinnati, OH

Al Naish Moving and Storage was founded in 1917 by Alexander H. Naish Cincinnati, Ohio.  In the spring of 1916, Naish purchased his first truck and began hauling papers for the local newspapers.  At that time most household moves were done by way of railroad within the city limits.  Two years later in 1918, Naish purchased his first warehouse in Madisonville behind his own home.  The two-story building offered almost 3,000 square feet of storage space.  This facility also doubled as a shop for Naish's growing boxing and crating business.

After World War I, the Cincinnati area was booming and the relocation of key employees to the area was becoming critical for local companies.  Companies like Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati Milling Machine and Union Central Life Insurance had signed with Naish.  In 1925 Naish Moving and Storage was incorporated and the Madisonville house and warehouse were sold and a new location in Oakley was opened.

Naish's two sons Alexander S. and younger brother Frank began washing and cleaning the trucks in the summers.  When each completed their sophomore year of high school, they began working on local moves.  After World War II, Alex S. and Frank began looking for new safer ways to handle and store household goods.  In the 1950's the industry was looking at the possibility of storing goods in a wooden vault.  Naish saw the potential in this and quickly began using the new way of storage. 

Today, Al Naish Moving and Storage is still owned and managed locally, with the same values Alexander H. Naish opened the company with almost 100 years ago.
