The History of NORMAC

In 1938, Charles E. Norton and Francis A. McMurray joined forces to become Norton McMurray. Both men had previously been involved with the designing and manufacturing of natural gas products and they decided to come together as one company. One of their first tasks was designing and manufacturing fittings to help with the corrosion problems affecting the natural gas piping underneath the city of Chicago. Upon completing this task with much success, NORMAC quickly became a well-known and trusted source for compression fittings used by the city utilities. It was not long before more than just the utilities were coming to NORMAC for their gas distribution needs. In a short time, NORMAC was providing quality products to utilities, wholesalers and distributors across the nation.
