| The P.E. Madden Co. of Chicago, IL. which was in the industrial water treatment chemical business, started making boiler continuous blowdown flow control and heat recovery equipment in the 1930's. In 1953, after the Elkhart, IN. plant was set up, the firm was incorporated by James Madden as the Madden Corporation. The headquarters was in Chicago, Il, with the manufacturing plant in Elkhart, IN. When Stuart and Paula Barb purchased the business in 1991 the name was changed to Madden Manufacturing, Inc. At that time the office in Morton Grove, IL. was closed and all operations were consolidated in the Elkhart plant.
