The Bauer Manufacturing Company was established in 1916 when Thomas E. [[Steiner surname)|Steiner]] found out about a new type of patented ladder being made in [[Cleveland, Ohio]] that had become extremely popular with painters and contractors installing house siding. He gathered a group of people to help invest in and form a new company to manufacture this ladder and named the company after the inventor of this type of ladder and The Bauer Manufacturing Company was born.
