About

Born in Germany, Henry Behrens came to America in 1867 and settled down as a carpenter and contractor in Winona, Minnesota. He opened a hardware store in 1911 whilst his 14 year-old-son worked upstairs on creating new metal products that would make his customers’ lives easier. He soon invented the “cyclone spinner”, made to help people was their clothes. Since then, Behrens has become synonymous with quality metal buckets and pails.
