Rich in history, our strength lies in our innovation and concern for our customers.
As a family-owned business, Elkay has a history of manufacturing innovative products and delivering excellent customer service. From our simple beginnings on Chicago’s north side to our present position as a supplier of complete kitchen products, we have always remained focused on key objectives--designing our products and adapting our businesses to serve the changing needs of our customers.
Please take a few moments to journey back with us to our beginnings and see how we have grown from a three person shop to an international company with over 3,800 employees!
1930-1939:
By 1930, Elkay has outgrown our location and makes the move to a larger manufacturing facility. In 1933, Elkay has grown to 18 employees and posts annual sales of $120,000. In 1935, we introduce our first stainless steel sink and by 1938, we become America's first mass producer of stainless steel sinks.
