We built our reputation from the ground up. Anvil’s history stretches<br />
back to the mid 1800s, when a <strong>com</strong>pany named Grinnell® began<br />
providing its customers with the finest quality pipe products. Since<br />
2000, those quality products and services— and the people who<br />
provide them—have been known as Anvil® International. Anvil®<br />
customers receive the quality and integrity that have been building<br />
strong connections in both products and business relationships for over<br />
150 years.<br />
