Family TraditionEast Jordan Iron Works, Inc. has been a part of the East Jordan, Michigan, community for over 125 years. William E. Malpass and his father-in-law, Richard W. Round, established the foundry November 8, 1883, to service the area’s booming lumber industry. At the time, the foundry produced castings for machine parts, ship parts, agricultural uses, and eventually railroads. Soon after the company was founded, W.E. Malpass called upon his brother James, a journeyman machinist in England, to join the firm. When the lumbering era came to a close, EJIW expanded into new markets allowing continued success in changing times. The company shifted to the production of street castings, water works valves, and fire hydrants. In the 1920s and 30s William E. gradually transferred management to his three sons, William Henry “Will” Malpass, Richard Ward “Dick” Malpass, and Theodore Edward “Ted” Malpass. As technology advanced during the 1950s and 60s, the third generation of leadership emerged. Will’s son, W.E. “Bill” Malpass, and Ted’s son, F. Bruce Malpass, converted the foundry to a completely automated, high-pressure molding line known as the Taccone Line. The new highly sophisticated equipment maximized production capabilities for the foundry. Since the mid-1980s the business has been led by the fourth generation: Fred Malpass, son of Bill Malpass, and Tracy and Tad Malpass, sons of F. Bruce Malpass. They have trans- formed EJIW into an international leader of construction castings by modernizing its facilities, acquiring and establishing additional branch operations, and developing an umbrella of companies known as the EJ Group®. The EJ Group®, along with EJIW, have a world wide presence with products in over 100 nations. Currently, several members of the fifth generation are successfully working in different capacities within the company.
