East Jordan Iron Works, Inc. (EJIW) has been a member of the City of East Jordan, Michigan community since 1883. William E. Malpass and his father-in-law, Richard W. Round, established the foundry in November 1883 to service the area's busy lumber industry. At the time, East Jordan Iron Works produced castings for machine parts, ship parts, agricultural uses, and eventually railroads.

The 1920's saw the lumbering operations decrease and eventually move out of the area. East Jordan Iron Works, Inc. met these changes by shifting to the production of street castings, water works valves, and fire hydrants.
During the 1950 and 60's the third generation converted the foundry to an automated high-pressure molding line complex complete with integrated automatic sand processing and mechanized casting handling facilities.

Since the mid-1980's the business has been led by fourth generation descendents of the Malpass family. They have transformed the Midwest business into a national leader of
construction castings by modernizing their facilities, acquiring and establishing additional
branch operations and building a world class foundry and distribution center in Ardmore,
Oklahoma.

The company has grown over the years through the support of its dedicated employees and
the local communities. Sales offices are strategically located in major markets across the
country. The manufacturing facility, Hydrant & Valve assembly and corporate office are
located in East Jordan, Michigan. The company also operates a foundry production facility
in Ardmore, Oklahoma. It provides castings for EJIW's sales and distribution operations
throughout the United States.
