Background
Boylan's first product was birch beer, based on a recipe formulated in 1891 in Paterson, New Jersey, by pharmacist Steven William Boylan. Ron and Mark Fiorina's grandfather purchased the company from the Boylan family in the 1930s. From the late 1950s until 2001, the company was based in Haledon, New Jersey. Its facilities were then moved to Clifton, New Jersey, for a short time, before being relocated again to Moonachie, New Jersey, then to Teterboro, New Jersey, and, in 2013, to New York City. On September 10, 2003, Boylan was acquired by Emigrant Bank in conjunction with the private equity firm The Courtney Group. The acquisition was the first transaction in the beverage sector for both purchasers, and their first in New Jersey, where Boylan's headquarters were then located in Teterboro. As part of the transaction, Emigrant Capital executive-in-residence Val Stalowir joined Boylan's board of directors.
