Morland was founded on May 31, 1959 by three partners: Kris Vonrumor, Werner Koeppf and José A. Santana. The latter was in charge of "Morland of P.R., Inc." in San Juan, Puerto Rico. 

​

Before 1959, the partners operated under a different company name and sold domestic kitchen appliances. When Morland was incorporated, the partners then decided to sell commercial equipment. This is when Morland first acquired commercial refrigeration brands.

​

Morland was part of a Corporation called "Morland Trading Corp.", located on Wall Street, New York City. This office operated as a purchasing agent for "Morland of P.R., Inc." Later on, "Morland of P.R., Inc." became independent from the offices in New York.

​

Nowadays, Morland distributes a wide array of equipment brands for the food industry. Some of them, but not limited to, are: Mainstreet Menu Systems, Beverage-Air®️, BKI, Hoshizaki America, Master-Bilt Products, Castle, Royal and Roundup
 
In 1977, José A. Santana’s son, Carlos A. Santana, joined the company and worked in every position available until he became vice-president.  When "Joe" retired, he made his son, Carlos, the president in his place
