About Us
An Industry Leader since 1853
Murdock Manufacturing is a leading designer, manufacturer, and supplier of stainless steel indoor and outdoor hand washing stations, drinking fountains, hydrants, bottle fillers, and more. In business since 1853, Murdock is the trusted name in water delivery systems.
Murdock History
John G. Murdock, Sr., founded Murdock Manufacturing in Cincinnati, OH in 1853, when most people were still drawing water from communal wells. Today, Murdock still manufactures some of its original drinking fountain designs!
Our reputation for high-quality, well-made products lead to inclusion in high-profile Depression-era projects by the Tennessee Valley Authority (1933), the Civilian Conservation Corps (1933), and the Works Progress Administration (1935).
Celebrating the company's 170th anniversary in 2023, President Bob Murdock reflected on the Murdock legacy and looked forward on new innovations.
If you had the opportunity to go out there and be in a park, chances are you were out there with your family, at a picnic, and Murdock was there in the picnic shelter. Having that long history of involvement with the public is, more than anything else, why the Murdock brand remains strong. As we continue the innovation, all the things that we’re doing to make it a much better product, we’re building on the legacy of what it was in the very beginning.
