MCELROY AND ITS RISE TO LEADERSHIP IN POLY WELDING MACHINERY

Art McElroy took the first step in realizing his dream by starting his company in a small garage in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He had little more than an unquenchable thirst for the science of design and a strong foundation in his wife, Panny. They put their honest work ethic into motion and watched their dream come to fruition in 1954 with the birth of McElroy Manufacturing, Inc.


In 1969, McElroy designed its first polyethylene welding machine. Phillips Petroleum Co., one of the first developers of HDPE, knew of Art McElroy through previous contract jobs and approached him to manufacture a PE weld machine which could work with the unique characteristics of HDPE. This first machine was known as the 4″ Hand Pump. This prompted McElroy to improve upon the original design and create the world’s first centerline-guided, semi-automatic, hydraulic machine for 2″ to 6″ pipe.

Art McElroy was an outstanding inventor, engineer, designer and businessman who established strongholds in three separate industries before his death in 1988. During the same year, Chip McElroy, his son, took over the direction of the company leading it through its greatest period of economic growth.


In 1997, McElroy introduced the TracStar® 500, revolutionizing the industry and becoming the first self-propelled, tracked poly welding machine able to tackle nearly any terrain.

McElroy has placed its stamp on the world as a leader in engineering and manufacturing. The McElroy of today is eagerly expanding its offering of poly welding products in new markets across the globe. McElroy is building on its history of innovation with revolutionary new products.
