Just Manufacturing

What Just Manufacturing does

Just Manufacturing, founded in 1933 and headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois with operations in Franklin Park, is a US manufacturer of commercial-grade stainless steel sinks and complementary plumbing fixtures. The product portfolio spans drop-in, undermount, wall-mount, scullery, and floor sinks, alongside commercial faucets, bubblers, drains, and accessories, constructed primarily from 14- to 18-gauge Type 304 and Type 316 stainless steel with sound-deadening pads, coved corners, and ADA-compliant configurations. Technical differentiation is anchored in compliance certifications (ADA, ASME A112.19.3, ASSE 1017/1069/1070, CSA B45.4, cUPC, NSF 372, IPC), repairable scratch-resistant finishes, and 90% recycled product content. The company sells exclusively through an extensive nationwide representative network, strategically located warehouses, and local distributors; it does not sell direct to consumers and quotes pricing on a project basis. End markets are vertically segmented across Education, Commercial, Foodservice, Government, Healthcare, Hospitality, and ADA projects, supported by a 95% off-the-shelf fill rate and same-day shipping capability, plus direct international shipping from the corporate office. Just Manufacturing operates as a branded subsidiary within the Zurn Elkay diversified plumbing portfolio alongside Zurn, Elkay, Wilkins, Hadrian, and World Dryer, sharing corporate infrastructure and cross-brand specification access.
