ABOUT TIPTON COMPANY

---

Tipton Company was founded in 1935 by Zeke Tipton.  Zeke got his start in the  plumbing industry in 1929. Zeke worked for his uncle, C.F Adams who was a manufacturer in the plumbing industry in Fort Worth, TX.  

Zeke worked through Texas A&M University and graduated with an  Engineering Degree in 1934.  Zeke's graduating class had 120 members,  all male and all in the Army Corps.  He was a Captain in WWII serving in Germany and earning multiple medals including a Bronze Star for Bravery.

After returning from Germany in 1946, Zeke and his wife Cecile put all  of their efforts into the humble beginnings of Tipton Company.  From day one, his motto was, “SERVICE STARTS HERE!”

William V. Tipton (“Bill”) went to work for Tipton Company in 1965. He eventually purchased the company from his father. By the 1970s, Bill grew the company to 45 employees, and producing over $25,000,000 in product sales.
