McWane, Inc.

McWane, Inc. is a family-owned manufacturing company founded in 1921 in Birmingham, Alabama. Its core business is ductile iron pipe, valves, hydrants, fittings and plumbing products for water infrastructure; when properly installed, its ductile iron pipe can serve a community for more than a century. The company's products deliver clean water to millions of people.

Beyond waterworks, the group holds diversified businesses in fire suppression through Amerex, pressure vessels through Manchester Tank, utility pole manufacturing and, since 2012, technology companies. It employs about 6,000 people across more than 25 facilities in North America and in other countries. Technical domains span ductile iron pipe manufacturing, foundry operations, waterworks products, fire suppression systems, pressure vessel and utility pole manufacturing, and technology.

The company operates under a set of values known as "The McWane Way" - integrity, competence, respect and fairness - established by founder J.R. McWane in 1920. The stated orientation is long-term: building infrastructure that communities rely on and making products intended to last for generations.
