Dwyer Industries, Inc. was founded as The Dwyer Company in August of 1970 by Robert Dwyer. The company began as a manufacturers representative agency selling valve products to the wholesale distribution market in Southern Texas. In 1980 the Company was incorporated under the name Dwyer Industries, Inc. and continued marketing products to the wholesale distributor industry. In 1984 Robert Dwyer retired and Steve Dwyer took over as President. He has been with the company since December of 1975. At this time in history, the PVF market in the U.S. purchased almost exclusively products made in the U.S.A. In 1979, the Company entered into a joint venture with the Mitsui Trading Company of Japan to import and market the Pan-Korean Cast Steel Valve products. This was our first entry into the import products business. This successful venture lasted until the mid-1980s. When Steve Dwyer took over control of the company, he instigated a plan to expand the company and began adding products other than valves. It was decided that all the products that Dwyer would offer to the market would be piping system products. The new products included pipe support products, pipe fittings and pipe nipples of many different materials, pressure classes and end connections. This expansion still continues today. Today, after more than 40 years in business, Dwyer Industries, Inc. offers a multitude of products for use in a variety of industries. Although valves are still a large part of our business, we are also offer malleable iron fittings, bronze fittings, forged steel fittings, stainless steel fittings and grooved fittings. In addition to the fittings, we offer pipe nipples in all materials, pipe schedules and end connections along with a large variety of pipe couplings for all industries. We also continue to offer a wide range of pipe support products. Our product offering expands each year. Our operational territory extends over the five States of the Gulf Coast and Southwestern US.
