Boylan Bottling Company is an American gourmet soft drink manufacturer located in New York City. The company was founded in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1891.[1] Boylan products are known for glass bottles with distinctive, retro style labels. The company's beverages use pure cane sugar and are bottled exclusively in glass.[2]

History

Boylan's first product was birch beer, their recipe having been formulated in 1891 in Paterson, New Jersey, by pharmacist Steven William Boylan.[3]

Ron and Mark Fiorina's grandfather bought the company from the Boylan family in the 1930s.[2] It was located in Haledon, New Jersey, from the late 1950s until 2001, when its facilities were relocated to Clifton, New Jersey, for a short time[timeframe?] before again being relocated to Moonachie, New Jersey, then Teterboro, New Jersey, and, in 2013, New York City.

On September 10, 2003, Boylan was acquired by Emigrant Bank, in conjunction with the private equity firm The Courtney Group. It represented the first transaction in the beverages sector for the two purchasers, and their first in New Jersey, which at the time was the home of Boylan's Teterboro headquarters.[4] As part of the deal, Emigrant Capital executive-in-residence Val Stalowir joined Boylan’s board of directors.[2]
