Celebrating 65 years in business

By Jesse Sanchez. 

From wrapping underground pipes to waterproofing the building envelope, MFM has accomplished a lot in 65 years! 

MFM Building Products is preparing to celebrate 65 years in business during the same year as America’s 250th anniversary. The milestone offers MFM Building Products an opportunity to reflect on decades of manufacturing growth, employee ownership and continued service to the building industry. 

Founded in 1961 in Coshocton, Ohio, MFM Building Products began manufacturing products used to wrap underground pipes, helping protect them from water penetration and preventing pipe contents from becoming contaminated. Over time, the company expanded that technology into sealing and waterproofing products for the building envelope. 

That evolution helped shape MFM into a manufacturer of a full envelope of waterproofing and weather barrier products. Today, the company produces self-adhered weather barrier products that include low-slope roofing membranes, roofing underlayments, window and door flashing tapes, multipurpose waterproofing membranes, specialized waterproofing tapes and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) duct and pipe wrap. 

Their exterior waterproofing membranes are designed to be self-adhering and self-sealing, supporting ease of installation and waterproofing protection. MFM products are manufactured in the United States and sold through an extensive distributor network around the globe. The products also qualify for the Buy American Act (BAA) and Build America Buy American Act (BABAA). 

As MFM Building Products approaches its 65th anniversary, the company continues to build on its long history of waterproofing innovation with a broad portfolio of self-adhered weather barrier products. From low-slope roofing membranes and roofing underlayments to window and door flashing tapes, multipurpose waterproofing membranes, specialized waterproofing tapes and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) duct and pipe wrap, MFM offers solutions designed to protect the building envelope from the rooftop to the foundation. 

In July 2017, MFM became a 100% employee-owned employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) company, reinforcing its commitment to service, quality and the core values that have guided the company since its founding. As MFM celebrates 65 years in business during the same year as America’s 250th anniversary, there is even more reason to recognize the company’s manufacturing legacy and continued role in the building industry. President Tony Reis states, “MFM can offer our customers a complete envelope of waterproofing solutions – everything from the rooftop to the foundation. This single-source option gives our customers several competitive advantages.”
