AFS Corporate Member Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Co., in conjunction with its subsidiary Neenah Foundry Co., has purchased Virginia-based Bingham & Taylor, a family-owned manufacturer of underground infrastructure access solutions serving water and gas utility customers across North America. 

Bingham & Taylor specializes in providing high-quality meter and valve access products, including boxes, lids, and pits, with a strong emphasis on American-made quality, innovation, and utility-grade durability. Bingham & Taylor operates a cast iron foundry in Culpeper, Virginia, as well as a plastics injection-molding plant and a blow-molding plant in Fredericksburg.

“Founded in 1849 with over 175 years of continuous operation, Bingham & Taylor prides itself on its domestic manufacturing capabilities and a wide distribution network and is the industry leader in its category,” said Hooper Hardison, CEO of Charlotte Pipe and Foundry. “This strategic acquisition continues our commitment to growing in the waterworks industry and builds on our acquisition of Neenah Enterprises (now Neenah Foundry) in 2022. Bingham & Taylor’s strong culture and long-standing reliance on 100% made in America make it an ideal fit.”

Charlotte Pipe and Foundry, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, manufactures cast iron and plastic pipe and fittings for plumbing applications, while Wisconsin-based Neenah Foundry manufactures municipal castings.
