Effective June 30, 2025, we will no longer be representing Waterman Engineered Products. McWane Plant & Industrial (MPI), Waterman’s parent company, is shifting to a model in which one representative manages all MPI product lines within each territory. Some of those lines directly compete with products we’ve proudly represented for over a decade.

For that reason, we’ve chosen not to take on the full MPI line card.
