Company founder Joshua Lambert, was said to be “a man who possessed a heart large enough for all, and who was ever doing in his quiet way all he could to better the condition of all who came into his life.” Following his passing in 1902, the remaining owners of the company, Nelson J. Clayton, Charles R. Lambert, Bert Lambert, and John E. Lambert, promised to “continue the business in such a manner as will tend to make it a credit to his memory.” Clayton & Lambert Manufacturing Company has been continuously operated by the Lambert family for over 130 years. More than a century later, we continue to do business with those values in mind.
From our early days manufacturing torches, firepots, and automotive stampings in Ypsilanti, Michigan; to smooth-wall storage solutions, custom stainless steel swimming pools, and clear span metal roofing; we take pride in our heritage and a History of Innovation.
