B. Stephen Cooperage Inc.is a company with strong values, which are rooted by its family history and commitment to the industry.

Our story began in the late 1800’s in western Russia on a shtetl, which is a small village where mostly working class Jewish people lived. Nathan Stephen worked on the shtetl as a Cooper. He picked up used empty wooden barrels, cleaned, fixed, and eventually resold them. Nathan married and had two children. Then, in 1909, facing increasing persecution from the pogroms, Nathan moved his family and eventually settled in Cleveland, Ohio. In Cleveland, Nathan followed the American Dream and did what he knew best by founding his own cooperage.
