Dean Helfer, Jr. started Channel Craft back in 1983 when he was selling his handmade wooden toys out of the back of his van at regional craft fairs. Today, Channel Craft has grown to a company that employs about 70 workers in the factory housed in an old Army Corp of Engineers complex on the banks of the Monongahela River in Charleroi, Pennsylvania.
