McWane Corp.
 PROFILE
As a leading manufacturer of fire hydrants, McWane may just be a dog's best friend. The privately-held company is also a leading maker of ductile iron pipe and water valves. With the acquisition of Amerex in Trussville, Alabama, McWane has become one of the world's leading makers of fire extinguishers and fire suppression systems. Through its Manchester Tank division, the company also produces gas grills as well as propane tanks for recreational vehicles. McWane was founded in 1921 and continues to be family-owned. Its Clow Water subsidiary has been making fire hydrants since 1890.
