In
1942 William Macristy formed Connecticut Stamping and Bending (CS&B) in New Britain, Connecticut. CS&B from its inception
was aiding in the war effort by creating tubular parts for companies
such as Pratt & Whitney, Ford Motor Company, and General
Electric.
When the war ended, CS&B turned its production
focus to the creation of tubular plumbing supplies. However, in 1949
when the Korean War began, Pratt & Whitney once again asked CS&B
if they could produce parts specifically for them. In order to keep
both Pratt & Whitney and this new war effort alive, as well as
keeping CS&B's customer base in-stock, Tube Bends was
formed to strictly make parts for Pratt & Whitney and other
government agencies.
In
1960, CS&B branched out its tubular plumbing line, from
wholesalers and repackagers to retailers and end users, by creating
Plumb E-Z. Plumb E-Z had a product line specifically for this type of
consumer and has remained successful to this day.
Macristy
Industries was formed in 1972 as a parent company for CS&B, Tube
Bends, and Plumb E-Z.
