What National Craft Industries does

National Craft Industries, Inc. is a privately held Taiwan-based manufacturer founded in 1984 and headquartered in New Taipei City, operating three integrated business lines: PPSU plumbing fittings, branded plumbing products, and OEM contract manufacturing. The PPSU fittings line includes F2159 and F1960 cold-expansion fittings for PEX tubing, certified to CSA B137.5, ASTM F877, NSF 61, NSF 372, and NSF 14, with cold-expansion metric fittings currently pursuing DVGW certification for European market entry. The branded plumbing portfolio spans kitchen, lavatory, and bathtub faucets, drain and strainer products, toilet repair parts, PEX manifolds, water hammer arrestors, braided flexible hoses, and repair parts compatible with 50+ major faucet brands. The OEM service line covers brass/bronze/aluminum/stainless steel/zinc casting and forging, CNC machining, stamping, plastic injection, and sheet metal fabrication, supported by 14+ in-house surface finishing options and pre-production/ongoing quality inspection under ISO 9001:2015.

The company serves three primary customer segments: plumbing distributors and wholesalers (primary), industrial OEM manufacturers (primary), and plumbing contractors/repair professionals (secondary). It reaches these markets via three go-to-market motions: international trade exhibitions (AHR Expo Chicago, ISH Frankfurt, MCE Fiera Milano), OEM-embedded custom manufacturing engagements, and direct B2B/B2C sales through its company website. Geographic reach spans North America (United States, Canada) and Europe (Germany specifically targeted for DVGW), with seven distinct IAPMO certification files providing regulatory infrastructure across the U.S. and Canadian plumbing markets. The firm operates with 11-50 employees and has been independently owned since its 1984 founding, with no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent company relationships.
