Nobody bought Symmons in a major acquisition, Symmons Industries remains family-owned and independent, headquartered in Braintree, Massachusetts, founded in 1939 by Paul Symmons, and is still owned by the Symmons family after over 85 years. Unlike many plumbing brands that have been acquired by conglomerates, for example Delta owned by Masco, Moen owned by Fortune Brands, Grohe owned by Lixil, and American Standard owned by Lixil, Symmons has remained independent and family-owned, with Tim Gallagher as President and CEO, who is part of extended family leadership. Symmons has not been bought by Kohler, Masco, or Fortune Brands. The company emphasizes its family-owned, made in USA status as a selling point. In 2022 and 2023, there were rumors of acquisition interest, but no sale occurred. Symmons continues to operate from Braintree, Massachusetts, with manufacturing there, and remains one of few independent American plumbing manufacturers. So who bought Symmons, nobody, it remains family-owned by Symmons family, independent, not acquired, still private and family-owned since 1939, with no parent conglomerate, which is rare in plumbing industry where most brands are owned by large corporations.
