The Beebe Company, a Portland, Oregon company since 1884, has been given new life by a descendant of one of the original owners.
The Beebe Company was started in Portland and Astoria by Charles Francis Beebe. Originally it supplied shipping and fishing industries and over the years the company was handed down from fathers to sons.
In the 1980s Robert Beebe ran Beebe’s as a downtown Portland shop that sold and repaired knives, keys, locks, umbrellas, pipes, and lighters. His grandson Silas worked in the shop as a child, helping out where he could and learning the trade.
After 12 years working as an industrial designer for some of the biggest brands in design and outdoor sports, Silas Beebe revived The Beebe Co. in December 2012.
The new Beebe Company will make outing supplies designed, sourced and manufactured in the USA – with an initial focus on innovative bike accessories.
