ABOUT

A tradition of service.

Our story began in 1944, when the Stephan brothers set out to make wooden clothes pins. Stephan Wood Products’ storied history continues today as we continue with our passion to serve the needs of specialty wood workers worldwide. In Grayling, Michigan, we are a hub zone certified small business that employs many individuals from the surrounding region. We have fostered and cultivated a reputation as a service-oriented company. Our dedication to meeting customer needs is evidenced by our long-term client relationships and the referrals they generate. Continued evolution and commitment to customer satisfaction, coupled with providing a safe work environment for our team members, promotes a culture of integrity and collective personal responsibility in our facility.

Today, we are still an American owned and operated company. All of our manufacturing takes place in the United States, but we service a worldwide customer base. Our Quality System is Certified ISO 9001:2015. We thrive on our history and reputation for quality products delivered on time. We have the team, the tooling, and the expertise to service any requests, and will take on your custom wood projects. Our goal is to continue to lead our customers into the next century with unmatched price, service and quality.

Then and now.
