Dundee Manufacturing Company

What Dundee Manufacturing Company does

Dundee Manufacturing Company is a privately held, family-owned American metal stamping manufacturer based in Dundee, Michigan, founded in 1950 and operating under brothers Peter Davis (President) and Dale Davis (Vice-President) since 2003. The company produces a catalog of standardized plumbing support hardware — including plumbers tape, BOCA/nail plates, stud shoes, pipe straps, pipe hooks, swivel ring hangers, clevis hangers, riser clamps, CPVC supports, plastic clamps, duct hangers, and related fittings — alongside a contract manufacturing service that delivers custom stamped components to OEM customers, including a contract-manufacturing relationship with solar racking manufacturers that began in 2012.

The company's manufacturing stack is built around in-house Tool & Die design and build, servo and mechanical presses up to 300-ton capacity, progressive stamping dies, tube forming, projection welding, and a suite of value-added processing (laser cutting, powder coating, galvanizing, copper/zinc plating, heat treating). Production traceability is supported by Plex Manufacturing Cloud ERP under an ISO 9000-compliant quality system, with products carrying UL Listed, FM Approved, MSS SP-69, NFPA, and Federal Specification WW-H-171 certifications relevant to fire-protection and plumbing code compliance.

Revenue is generated through three streams — standard catalog plumbing products (residential, commercial, industrial, and HVAC), contract manufacturing for OEM/engineered customers (including solar), and wholesale distribution. Dundee sells through a hybrid go-to-market combining direct sales, an inside-sales team handling RFQs, a wholesaler program, and eight independent sales representative agencies covering the continental United States, fulfilled from warehouse locations in Michigan, Arizona, and South Carolina.

Direct peers

• Sioux Chief Manufacturing: Sioux Chief manufactures plumbing specialty items including pipe supports, stub-outs, and rough-in products for residential and commercial plumbing. Its product range and plumbing distributor focus closely parallel Dundee's plumbing support portfolio.
• Oatey: Oatey is a leading plumbing products manufacturer offering solvent cements, drains, and pipe support accessories. Its commercial plumbing offering overlaps with Dundee's pipe support and plumbing hardware products sold through the same wholesale and contractor channels.
• Anvil International: Anvil International manufactures pipe hangers, supports, fittings, and related plumbing/HVAC metal products that overlap directly with Dundee's pipe strap, swivel ring hanger, clevis hanger, and riser clamp lines. Both companies serve plumbing/HVAC distributors and contractors with UL Listed, FM Approved code-compliant products.
• HoldRite: HoldRite (a Reliance Worldwide subsidiary) manufactures plumbing support and fastening products including brackets, isolators, and pipe supports that compete with Dundee's stud shoes, pipe straps, and CPVC stand-off hangers in residential and commercial plumbing.
• Tolco (Atkore): Tolco, part of Atkore, manufactures pipe support systems and strut fittings comparable to Dundee's clevis hangers, riser clamps, and pipe supports. Both companies target plumbing, mechanical, and fire protection contractors through distributor networks.
• nVent ERICO / CADDY: nVent's ERICO and CADDY brands produce pipe, conduit, and structural support hardware used in plumbing, HVAC, and construction. Product overlap with Dundee's pipe straps, beam clamps, and CPVC supports makes nVent a direct competitor in the same distributor/specifier channels.
• Eaton (B-Line series): Eaton's B-Line series includes pipe hangers, strut systems, and supports that compete head-on with Dundee's hangers, straps, and CPVC support products in commercial and industrial construction applications.

Broad incumbents

• Atkore International: Atkore is a publicly traded manufacturer of steel products including electrical conduit, pipe supports (via Tolco), and structural products. While much broader than Dundee, Atkore's pipe support portfolio competes in many of the same distributor channels and end applications.
