About MCWANE INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED
In 1903, J. R. McWane settled in Birmingham, Ala., and began a modest foundry enterprise, shifting to a coke and coal business when the foundry business faltered.
In 1904, Henry McWane set up a subsidiary, McWane Pipe Works, to make cast iron pipe and fittings. It was a promising line of business.
In 1908, J. R. McWane joined the American Cast Iron Pipe Company, rising to president by 1915, and establishing innovations in the industry along with worker welfare initiatives. He not only grew the business, but also became known as a leader in employee relations.
In 1921, McWane left and began another new venture, the McWane Cast Iron Pipe Company. As America grew, so did the need to supply flourishing cities with clean water and to remove waste safely. As a result, McWane was able to grow his business. He expanded operations from Birmingham to include a second facility in Provo, Utah, in 1926 called the Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company.
After his death in 1933, his son William (Bill) McWane became president. He remained focused on maintaining the two foundries through the good and bad times of the 1930s and World War II. In 1962, McWane expanded by acquiring Empire Coke Company, a manufacturer of foundry coke and by-products for foundries and other industrial operations.
In 1971, William McWane’s son James (Jim) Ransom McWane, became president of McWane Cast Iron Pipe Company. In 1975, he served as chairman and chief executive officer for McWane, Inc.
In 1975, McWane purchased Atlantic States Cast Iron Pipe Company of Phillipsburg, N.J., preserving American jobs in the process. The company next diversified by acquiring the Union Foundry Company, an Anniston, AL, waterworks fittings business.
During the 1980s, McWane added M&H Valve Company and acquired Clow Water Systems Company and Clow Valve Company. Kennedy Valve Company of Elmira, N.Y., was added in 1988. Subsequently, McWane strengthened its global commitment by establishing McWane International, which markets all McWane products worldwide.
McWane entered the Canadian market in 1989 with the acquisition of Canada Pipe Company in Hamilton, Ontario. Following entry into Canada, McWane expanded its manufacturing further by establishing Clow Canada in 1990, consolidating manufacturing operations in St. Johns, New Brunswick.
In 1995, McWane acquired Tyler Pipe & Coupling in Texas. The company also purchased a couplings operation in California, now known as ANACO. During the late 1990s, McWane acquired the Bibby Companies through Canada Pipe, Tennessee-based Manchester Tank & Equipment Company, Brunner Manufacturing, and Amerex Corporation of Trussville, AL, to the company. The company also owns Manchester Tank and Equipment in Australia.
In 2008, Janus Fire Systems, based out of Crown Point, IN, joined McWane as a division of Amerex.
Then, in 2012, McWane began their diversification strategy into technology by adding Synapse Wireless to their portfolio of companies. Additional technology additions to McWane include ComTech Korea, a mobile communications service provider based in Seoul, Futurecom, an Ontario-based RF coverage extension solutions, Nighthawk, a leading provider for wireless smart grid solutions. In 2014, McWane acquired UK-based Zinwave, a global company which has pioneered a new approach for reliable mutli-service in-building wireless coverage.
In 2015, the McWane ductile iron pipe companies (Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company, Atlantic States Cast Iron Pipe Company, and Clow Water Systems Company) unified under the brand McWane Ductile.
