A Change in Our Line Card: Ending Representation of Waterman Engineered Products
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. Honoring long-standing partnerships is central to how we do business, and representing competing lines would conflict with the level of commitment we bring to our manufacturers. For that reason, we’ve chosen not to take on the full MPI line card.
