Dow Jones Description

Coyne & Delany Company was founded in 1879 by John J. Delany and Thomas Coyne. In those days, the family business manufactured copper-lined wooden bathtubs and wooden overhead tanks for water closets. By the early 1900's a wide variety of plumbing products were being produced, among which were cast iron bathtubs, brass plumbers trim, wooden flush tanks and fittings and ballcocks. In 1910 Tom Coyne died, leaving no male heirs to assume his role in the company. The Coyne family interest in the business was sold by Tom's widow to John Delany. Over 100 years and four Delany generations later, Coyne & Delany Co. is still a family run business, but copper-lined bathtubs have been replaced with flush valves, and distribution is international in scope. In 1969 Coyne & Delany moved from Brooklyn, New York to Charlottesville, Virginia. Here they purchased 7 acres of land and began construction on a new manufacturing plant. This facility is designed to fully integrate all the steps in the manufacturing of Delany flush valves, bedpan washers and vacuum breakers; casting, machining, plating, assembly and testing. The ability to continually adapt to the changing trends in the marketplace and to consistently plan for the future has allowed Coyne & Delany Co. to become one of the world's leading flush valve manufacturers. We've come a long way since the copper-lined wooden bathtubs of 1879, but certain things will always remain the same. ...
