We should note that Canada Pipe, also a member of the McWane family of companies, will retain its name, which best reflects its unique position as the leading ductile iron pipe provider in Canada.

A Seamless Transition

The entire McWane Ductile team, the men and women on the floors of our manufacturing plants, our sales team, and company leadership, is committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our many partners. We’ve spent a year planning for this change, and we anticipate a seamless shift as we move into daily operations as one company.

We know one question that’s likely on your mind is whether you’ll continue to work with the same people. We’re well aware of the countless longstanding relationships that have been developed and nurtured over the many years of our divisions’ histories, and so we’re happy to reassure you that you’ll continue working with the same familiar faces in the future. Our tradition of knowledge, responsiveness, and accountability will not change. If they haven’t already, your regular contacts will reach out soon to provide you with updated email addresses, a universal mailing address, and new website address.

With this unification, McWane Ductile also is fully committed to maintaining and continually investing in our three plants, located in Phillipsburg, New Jersey; Coshocton, Ohio; and Provo, Utah. We will now refer to the plants based on the states in which they’re located. For example, the Provo location is now called McWane Ductile Utah. This will make it easy to specify where products are made while maintaining one brand identity.

“Our ties to the communities where our plants are located are as strong as our products,” says Dodge. “We want to be clear that our commitment to staying and growing in these communities is steadfast, and we will continue to provide good-paying jobs with the stability and longevity that are hallmarks of our company.”

If you haven’t already, we also encourage you to give the McWane Pocket Engineer™ app a try. It allows users to retrieve pertinent technical information on our products with ease through its automatic calculators. Users provide the relevant input data, and the McWane Pocket Engineer does the rest. It’s designed to work on any mobile device and on any computer and makes it easier than ever to do business with us.

As we embark on this new phase in the company’s history, we want to take a moment to remind you, our valued friends, how much we appreciate your business and partnership. We pledge to continue to do our best to inspire confidence in McWane Ductile and our ability to provide you with iron-strong systems for generations to come.
