The Stephan Co., along with its affiliated entities, specializes in the production, marketing, and distribution of a diverse range of hair care and personal hygiene products. The company's operations are divided into two distinct divisions: Distributors and Brands. The Distributors segment serves an array of professional clientele, including salons, barbershops, and beauty schools, by supplying them with the company's hair care offerings and various barber and beauty provisions. This division also functions as a direct-to-consumer mail-order and online supplier for professional beauty items, and it sells products directly to cosmetology institutions. Conversely, the Brands segment is responsible for manufacturing and supplying products to major retail channels such as mass merchandisers, chain pharmacies, and grocery stores, which then sell directly to end-users. It also engages with distributors who subsequently supply a broader network of retailers. Stephan Co. manufactures prominent hair care lines like Image and Sorbie, which are distributed to salons. Its extensive product portfolio further encompasses well-known personal care items such as Cashmere Bouquet and Quinsana Medicated talcs, Balm Barr and Stretch Mark creams and lotions, Protein 29 liquid and gel grooming aids, and the hair care brands Stiff Stuff and Wildroot. Furthermore, the company markets a selection of cosmetics through digital and catalog channels. Under its own STEPHAN'S label, it produces shampoos, hair treatments, after-shave lotions, dandruff treatments, hair conditioners, and hair sprays. Other notable brands include Lekari, New Era, OLD 97, and Imágen. Additionally, the company markets the Hope, Interlude, and Fade-away brand names across various retail outlets. With a history dating back to its founding in 1897, The Stephan Co. maintains its corporate headquarters in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and conducts business across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia.
