Anton & Co. Pipes consists mainly of father and son, Alexander and Ivan Antonenko, who have their workshop in Lviv in Ukraine, not far from the border with Poland. Alexander is a former fighter pilot who started his own business producing wooden articles and cigarette holders in the late 90s and early 2000s. Since the early 2000s, production has grown considerably and pipes were added to the range. In 2010, his son Ivan joined the business after graduating from the National Forestry University. | [[file:IvanAntonenko.jpg|thumb|Ivan Antonenko, courtesy [http://blog.cigarworld.de/bei-anton-pipes-in-der-ukraine-geht-die-arbeit-weiter/?fbclid=IwAR3MJSaxSf17bVfyXINR4zzW-rE5Uq6QCB_dlFjSgQBLl6u2UaaMkJ9gS3E CigarWorld.de]]]Anton & Co.

Pipes are mainly made from maple wood, which has a long tradition in Ukraine. Occasionally, oak, bog oak or pear wood is also used. Maple is a material that actually grows "on the doorstep", is very fire-resistant, easy to work with and has a neutral flavor of its own. Moreover, it is a tree species that is neither particularly rare nor endangered. In this respect, the choice of material was not particularly difficult. | Pipes are mainly made from maple wood, which has a long tradition in Ukraine.
