In 1852, the Edwin B. Stimpson Company opened a 1,500 square foot factory in Lower Manhattan at what would be, 31 years hence, the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Now, more than 150 years later, Stimpson produces the largest variety of standard and special eyelets of any single company in the world from two facilities totaling over 550,000 square feet. Our Bayport, New York and Pompano Beach, Florida plants are furnished with the most advanced, state-of-the-art, high-speed automated equipment available. – Stimpson Co Facilities
