The Keeney Manufacturing Company is a manufacturer of tubular brass and other plumbing related products headquartered in Newington, Connecticut. Keeney Manufacturing, founded in 1923 〔http://www.concord-sots.ct.gov/CONCORD/PublicInquiry?eid=9744&businessID=0087398〕 contains several subsidiaries within the plumbing industry, including Plumb Pak, Duracraft Plastics, Tubular Industries of Canada Ltd., Timeout by Keeney, FlushAll,〔http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/flushall-toilet-valve-saves-wimpy-toilets-from-the-dreaded-double-flush-138318769.html〕 and Belanger Plumbing〔http://www.belanger-upt.com/index.php?lang=en〕 ==History==
The company was founded in 1923 in New Britain, Connecticut,〔http://theplumbingnews.com/current-issues/july2012/GA-whitewolf.html〕 by Bertha Ann Macristy Hanna, who became the first woman to have founded a manufacturing business in Connecticut. Bertha pulled together a team of family members, and with management experience she gained from a previous employer, launched Keeney, which produced residential plumbing and heating fittings. Because of the gendered politics of the era, it was uncommon for a woman to lead a business. Thus, Bertha despite being the majority shareholder of Keeney Manufacturing Company, called on her brother-in-law William Keeney, to be the figurehead of the company. "B.A. Macristy" assumed the titles of Treasurer and Corporate Secretary, and ran her factory from behind the scenes. Bertha, known for her strong will and resilience, guided Keeney through the Great Depression and WWII. Keeney Manufacturing grew to be successful in the plumbing industry because of its quality, innovation, and customer service. The Keeney Manufacturing Company moved its 13 employees to its current location in Newington, CT on April 1, 1925 and has grown exponentially since. Keeney is still family-owned, and the current President and C.E.O. is R. Stuart Holden, Jr., grandson to Bertha Macristy Hanna. In 2013, Keeney celebrated its 90th year in business.〔http://articles.courant.com/2013-01-15/community/hcrs-69707hc-newington-20130107_1_keeney-commerce-president-newington-chamber〕
