The Elkay Manufacturing Company began as a vision of Leopold Katz and his son Louis on the North side of Chicago back in 1920. Founded with the goals of manufacturing the highest quality sinks and providing the best service possible, the company began to thrive. As time went by, we set the pace with new products, designs and innovations that continue to lead the industry. To meet the demands of a changing marketplace, over the years we've expanded from our base business to include the manufacture of water coolers and fountains. Recently, we broadened our scope to address the emerging world market of water filtration products and now offer our customers the benefits of our extensive research. With the acquisition of a global commercial interior design company - Elkay Interior Systems - we began serving the quick-serve restaurant and hospitality industries with award-winning, turnkey commercial branded interiors.
