Our foundation is a family heritage of eyelet craftsmen dating back to 1905.
In 1963 Howard B. Finkenzeller struck out on his own to found Eyelet Crafters. Howard built Eyelet Crafters into a company with a reputation for quality, integrity and a commitment to its customers. Upon Howard's  retirement, Robert and William Finkenzeller assumed management of the company. Robert and William have continued the growth of Eyelet Crafters, making it a world class company. Robert and William know and understand the Eyelet industry. Robert's Engineering talent and William's operations skills provide the leadership that has made Eyelet Crafters a highly-respected company. Although eyelet craft has been around for some time, Eyelet Crafters has regularly upgraded equipment and methods to ensure that it is a leader in the industry.
