U.S. manufacturing continues to demonstrate its long-haul capabilities, and IndustryWeek continues to salute their achievements.

Welcome to another in our continuing series of galleries showcasing U.S. manufacturing companies that have reached their 100th birthday. It's no small achievement, and it's deserving of recognition.

These 10 manufacturing companies in this gallery appear in alphabetical order. The name of each company is linked to the history page on their website whenever possible, providing you with access to more historical detail than we can share in this presentation.

IndustryWeek has been producing these salutes to longevity since 2013, and we plan to continue. Tell us who we are missing, or who has a milestone birthday approaching soon. And thank you to the participating companies for sharing historical photos with us.

Other galleries in our century salute include: The Definition of Durability: 10 Manufacturing Companies That Have Reached the Century Mark. This link will also provide you with quick access to other, earlier slideshows related to manufacturers who have met the challenge of business longevity.
