Celebrating 65 years of building envelope innovation

By MFM Building Products Corp.  

The manufacturer celebrates decades of growth, employee ownership and comprehensive waterproofing solutions. 

As the building industry continues to demand smarter, more integrated moisture protection, MFM Building Products stands out for its longevity, innovation and full-system approach. This year, the manufacturer will mark 65 years of delivering waterproofing and weather barrier solutions that protect structures from the roof deck to the foundation. With a portfolio that spans roofing underlayments, flashing systems and self-adhered membranes, MFM’s milestone reflects decades of steady growth, U.S.-based manufacturing and a continued commitment to employee ownership and customer-focused performance. 

Humble beginnings 

MFM Building Products was founded in 1961 in Coshocton, Ohio. Initially, the company manufactured products used for wrapping underground pipes to protect water penetration and pipe contents from becoming contaminated. Over the years, MFM expanded this technology to develop sealing and waterproofing products for use within the building envelope. In July 2017, MFM became a 100% employee-owned ESOP company that still holds true to its original core values. 

Expanding our capabilities 

Today, MFM manufactures a wide array of self-adhered weather barrier products that include low-slope roofing membranes, roofing underlayments, window and door flashing tapes, multi-purpose waterproofing membranes, specialized waterproofing tapes and HVAC duct and pipe wrap. These exterior, waterproofing membranes are self-adhering and self-sealing for ease of installation and complete waterproofing protection.  

Made in the USA 

MFM products are manufactured in the United States and sold through an extensive distributor network around the globe. The company’s products qualify for the Buy American Act (BAA) and Build America Buy American Act (BABAA). 

According to Tony Reis, president, “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.”
