Century-Old Manufacturing Companies: A Celebration Of US Longevity

For more than a decade, IndustryWeek has been celebrating U.S. manufacturing companies that have reached the century mark. Some of these manufacturers are well past that landmark age, while others have recently celebrated their 100th anniversary. The achievement is remarkable in either case, and we salute these masters of longevity. 

This gallery is our latest collection of 100-year-old manufacturing companies. Please enjoy and then visit our previous efforts to shine a light on long-lived manufacturers. They are listed below.
