1893 - 1905

For more than 100 years, Attwood has been the unquestioned award-winning leader in design, development, testing, and manufacturing of the highest quality boat parts and accessories for the marine industry. Attwood was founded in 1893 by Charles F. Attwood as Attwood Brass Works, making parts for carriages and hearses.

By 1905, the company was providing parts to the thriving Great Lakes Maritime trade.
