Sam Peterson

Founder, Loc&Stor 24/7

Sam Peterson is the Founder of Loc&Stor 24/7, based in the Philippines. The company currently operates nearly 40,000 m² of storage space and has served more than 12,000 customers over the past 11 years.

Peterson’s career began as an Apprentice Toolmaker, before earning a degree in Electrical Engineering. He started in the defence industry, where he was part of the team that helped rebuild the NORAD system, a key component of global nuclear deterrence. He later pursued an MBA, which included a semester in Thailand—an experience that sparked his interest in returning to Asia.

He joined BOC Gases in its Asia operations, taking on roles in finance, business development, and eventually managing several of BOC’s businesses across the region. Following BOC’s acquisition, he joined The Linde Group, where he served as country head for Malaysia, and later for Indonesia and the Philippines, while based in Singapore.

In 2011, Mr Peterson joined Steel Storage Asia, where his exposure to the self storage industry inspired him to found Loc&Stor 24/7 in 2014. Joining him in the business is his wife, Anna.
