Marshalltown Bricklaying Tools
History
Marshalltown has been designing and making tools since 1890 when they started in a small machine shop in Iowa where they started repairing bicycles, automobiles and fulfilling orders from local contractors. One contractor asked if they would customize some tools, so they did, and the customer was pleased. After that, the requests started coming in.
The Williams brothers made a few more trowels and put them on the market. Word travelled fast, and they began receiving orders from outside of the state. Their small shop quickly grew into a manufacturing and mail-order business, and the brothers thought they were doing quite well.
The men needed more space, and they moved to South 8th Avenue in 1902.
They built a two-story machine shop, blacksmith shop and automobile shop, and a boiler and engine room and office. They began specializing in trowels and referred to that part of business as “Marshalltown Trowel Works.” Sales increased. The brothers and salesman Albert Higgin officially incorporated “Marshalltown Trowel Company” in 1905.
Today
Marshalltown Trowel changed its name in 2003. The company had long since become more than just a “trowel” supplier and now offers over 7,000 products for professionals and do-it-yourselfers in asphalt, brick, concrete, drywall, EIFS, flooring, paint, plaster, stucco, tile and wallpaper. To its customers and others in the industry, the company is known for the best tools, and it is known by one name—MARSHALLTOWN.
A long way from the small machine shop the Williams brothers began in 1890.
Marshalltown is now one of the world’s largest tool manufacturers. Despite its growth and innovation, the company has stayed true to its roots. It still manufactures tools with superior quality, and it still uses honesty and square dealing. However, staying true to its roots does not mean it hasn’t changed. The company continues making significant improvements to its infrastructure and manufacturing and distribution processes to ensure that it can continue to serve its customers well into the future.
