With 170 years of engineering & manufacturing expertise, you can depend on Badger time tested high quality products
Experience counts. Badger Industries has been in continuous operation for more than 50 years, serving the industry with engineering excellence.
In 1970 the company began manufacturing high quality metal expansion joints in New Castle, Pennsylvania, under the name Badger Expansion Joint Company.
In 1980 we expanded our manufacturing capabilities with the acquisition of the Sola-Flex expansion joint product line, originally founded by Solar Aircraft Company.
In 1987 the company changed its name to Badger Industries, Inc.
In 1989 Badger Industries, Inc. was merged into Flowline Corporation, which subsequently changed its name to Markovitz Enterprises, Inc., of which Badger Industries, Inc. is a division of. The Company also moved its operations from New Castle, Pennsylvania to its present location, a renovated 72,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, approximately 25 miles north of Pittsburgh.
In 2013 Badger Industries purchased an adjacent manufacturing facility which added another 55,000 square feet of manufacturing space. This brought the total manufacturing space to 127,000 square feet.
Today Badger designs and manufactures round convoluted metal bellows utilizing four metal bellows forming technologies: Hydroforming, Roll Forming, Pneumatic Tube Forming, and Expanding Mandrel Forming. Rectangular metal expansion joint convolutions are formed with a press brake.
In the early-1990s, Badger added a fabric expansion joint product line specializing in gas turbine installations. Badger’s reputation for design excellence of gas turbine fabric expansion joints and turnkey on-site service is recognized industry-wide.
Throughout the 20th Century and into the 21st, Badger engineered metal bellows expansion joints and fabric expansion joints have been approved by leading engineering and end-user companies. The results are that Badger fabric and metal expansion joints are installed worldwide in power generation, refining, chemical, pipelines, steel, smelting, pulp & paper, and other industries.
