Channel Craft
Channel Craft began as a one-man operation back in 1983 from the back of a step van / traveling wood shop, when president and founder Dean Helfer, Jr. drove from craft shows to folk festivals peddling his hand-crafted wooden products. In 1991, Dean and Channel Craft settled into an old Army Corps of Engineers building south of Pittsburgh on the banks of the Monongahela River in Charleroi, PA. Channel Craft currently occupies three buildings (Manufacturing, Assembly and Distribution) and continues to handcraft Toys, Games and Puzzles right here in the U.S.A.
