PROFILE |
 |
Chicago Faucet Company (Chicago Faucets) has something to spout off about. The company today makes about 1,000 faucets with more than 55,000 possible configurations. It makes handles, spouts, outlets, and inlets for residential, commercial, industrial, safety, and medical markets. All of the faucets are modular, interchangeable, and cast in brass. The company sells solely through plumbing distributors, serving mostly commercial buildings, in the US and in most regions of the world. Founded in 1901, the company was bought by A.C. Brown shortly thereafter. Brown's great-grandson, Alan Lougee, heads the family-owned company.
