Now they have a monopoly on domestic fittings (Anvil / Ward).
Looks like having a monopoly on only USA manufacturing is not enough to block it.

    I just hope it is or stays American made. China will own us soon enough. The scary part is where they say "nothing will change" which means everything will change.

    Wolverine Brass was acquired twice, most recently by Marcone, an appliance parts distributor.

    They are quickly ruining the company.

    Great acquisition by a very respected company. They have made many acquisitions in the past few years and have done a great job with each. They have always been committed to American made products and I have no doubts they will integrate this newest acquisition into their product offering quite well.

    Monopolies don't usually work out that way, but I like your optimism.
