About McGuire Manufacturing
About McGuire Manufacturing
McGuire Manufacturing was founded in 1952 by Hugh McGuire, who started by purchasing plumbing components from suppliers across Connecticut and assembling and selling them out of his Cheshire garage. Seeing an opportunity in cast brass, high-quality plumbing fixtures, McGuire hired a machinist, developed his own casting molds, and began manufacturing plumbing parts from a 5,000-square-foot building in Prospect, Connecticut.
The company grew steadily through the 1970s, expanding its workforce and attracting customers from across the globe while remaining focused on supplying brass plumbing trim as an Original Equipment Manufacturer for other plumbing fixture companies. Over time, McGuire built a reputation as the professional's choice for traps, stops, supplies, drains, and strainers used in commercial plumbing installations.
Now operating as a Bead Industries company from Cheshire, Connecticut, McGuire Manufacturing continues to specialize in custom-designed products and finishes engineered to meet the demanding requirements of commercial fixture applications, with more than 65 years of manufacturing experience behind its catalog. ChatMRO indexes the McGuire catalog so buyers can search by trim type, finish, or fitting size to find matching products.
