Baker Manufacturing Company

What Baker Manufacturing Company does

Baker Manufacturing Company, LLC is a privately held, diversified industrial manufacturer headquartered in Evansville, Wisconsin, USA, founded in 1873 and operating with 251–500 employees. The company is organized into three wholly-owned divisions: Baker Castings produces gray and ductile iron custom castings serving automotive, marine, and agricultural OEMs; Baker Water Systems manufactures residential and commercial water treatment and well-system products under the Campbell, Monitor, Monoflex, and Brady brand lines, including the NSF/ANSI-certified Campbell Ultrafiltration+ line; and Haight Pump produces rotary gear pumps for fluid-pumping applications, including ATEX-compliant 10-40UR models for hazardous environments.

Revenue is generated through direct hardware sales across all three divisions, with no public pricing disclosure. The company operates a direct sales model via toll-free phone lines (800-356-9434 corporate; 800-356-5130 water systems) and dedicated divisional websites (bakercasting.com, bakerwatersystems.com, haightpump.com). Customer segments span residential water consumers, commercial water infrastructure operators, and industrial OEMs in automotive, marine, agricultural, and fluid-handling verticals.

The business is differentiated by an extensive third-party certification portfolio — NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 61, CAN 372, UL QCZJ, ASSE 1093, ISO 9001:2015, and ATEX — that functions as a regulatory entry barrier in water treatment and pumping markets. Multi-brand retention (acquired brands operated as separate go-to-market units) and 150 years of continuous foundry and manufacturing operations anchor the company. On 2024-11-04 Baker completed the acquisition of A.Y. McDonald's Pump Division for an undisclosed amount, materially expanding its pumping product line beyond the Haight brand.
