A Proud History, An Exciting Future

From its start in 1940 as a small manufacturer of screw machine products, Elkhart Products Corporation (EPC) has built a reputation for quality products and quality personnel.

As the company expanded in the early 1950s into a 60' x 240' structure and became a fabricator of various copper and aluminum tubular components, it also became known for its innovation and service.

Expansion continued with the purchase of machinery from Chase Brass and Copper Company in the late '50s and wrot copper tube fittings for the plumbing, air conditioning and refrigeration industries were added to the product line. Growth continued with the construction of plants in Fayetteville , Arkansas , in 1962 and in Geneva , Indiana , in 1969. After a period of outside ownership, EPC joined the Amcast Industrial family in 1983, operating as a wholly owned subsidiary. Another addition to the family was the opening of the Canadian Distribution Center in Toronto , Ontario in 1990.

Today, EPC is part of Aalberts Industries N.V. and enjoys the distinction of being one of the world's largest manufacturers of wrot copper fittings. It's also recognized as a versatile supplier of custom fabricated tubular products to original equipment manufacturers in several industries, including automotive and air conditioning and refrigeration.
