Cooper B-Line began as a division of Brinkley Company in Wright City, Missouri in 1956, and began producing cable tray in 1967.

In 1971, B-Line became a subsidiary of Sigma Chemical (Sigma-Aldrich) and began producing pipe fasteners in 1980 and spring steel fasteners in 1990.

In 2000, B-Line became a stand-alone division of Cooper Industries, adding strength to Cooper’s position in the electronics and telecommunications markets.
