The MGI Advantage

The plumbing market covered

Whether visible as fixtures or tucked inside the wall, MGI plumbing products are valiant workhorses built for decades of longevity. Every step of the way, from the first concrete pour enclosing a Smith® drain to the final Acorn® sink hung on the wall, MGI brands are ready to go to work. Across our brands, we offer a full slate of code-compliant drainage, valve, and fixture products for any application.

  • Complementary, not competing

    MGI brands are intentionally positioned to work together. Contractors and specifiers can build a complete plumbing or fire protection system across multiple companies—without product overlap or internal competition.

  • Manufacturing held in-house

    Core manufacturing capabilities remain within the MGI portfolio, providing greater control over quality, production capacity, lead times, and the consistent performance customers depend on.

  • Specified together, nationally

    Multiple MGI brands can be written into a single project specification, giving architects and engineers access to coordinated solutions backed by nationwide sales and support.

  • A single point of accountability

    From product selection through installation and service, customers gain one connected organization committed to resolving issues, coordinating resources, and keeping the project moving forward.
