You’re in the business of crafting exceptional spirits, wine, or whiskey. But you need a partner who can provide you with barrels that bring out the best in your product.
That’s where McGinnis Wood Products comes in.
Founded in 1968 by Leroy McGinnis in Cuba, Missouri, we’re a family-owned cooperage and stave mill with over 50 years of experience. What started as a small stave mill has grown into one of the world’s finest manufacturers of white oak barrels—producing barrels that are prized for their craftsmanship and the unique flavors they impart to spirits, wine, and whiskey.
Our secret? A proprietary drying process that ensures the highest quality oak staves and headings. With five manufacturing facilities, including a state-of-the-art drying facility and over 200 dedicated employees, we maintain one of the largest inventories of air-dried materials in the industry. Every barrel we create is crafted with care, tradition, and innovation.
At McGinnis Wood Products, we don’t just make barrels—we build relationships. We’re proud to be a family-owned business where education, employee investment, and community involvement are at our core. Our commitment to excellence means you get a top-tier product backed by decades of knowledge passed down through generations.
Let us help you create the perfect barrel for your craft—because your product deserves the best.
