EIW
Eagle Iron Works was founded in 1872 by brothers George and Lawrence Aulmann in Des Moines, Iowa, and it has since become one of the leading companies in the aggregate industry for washing and classifying equipment. Ted Aulmann, son of George, managed the business through its major expansions in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1972, Ted's son-in-law Andrew Krantz took over as company president. Eagle Iron Works remained a family-owned business until his retirement in 2011 at the age of 97.
In November 2012, McLanahan Corporation purchased the assets of Eagle Iron Works. As EIW, McLanahan continues the long history of product durability and quality for which Eagle Iron Works has become known, while incorporating McLanahan's values, service and support. As part of the McLanahan family of companies, EIW offers engineering, support, spare parts and more. For more on Eagle Iron Works, please visit www.eagleironworks.com.

To help further extend the company's range of products and services, McLanahan has strategically acquired several companies. Each acquisition was made with better service to customers in mind. The following acquisitions have been made:
CMB International Limited - 2022
In 2022, McLanahan acquired CMB International Limited. Established in the U.K. in 1996 by Martin Brough to fill the need for quality service and support for dry processing equipment within the quarry industry, the acquisition of CMB International brought the company's well-known line of Crushers, Screens and Feeders to McLanahan. CMB now serves as a brand name within the McLanahan line of equipment.

HSS Sampling - 1998
HSS Sampling Systems, with its full line of accurate and highly respected sampling solutions, was acquired in 1998. HSS Sampling Systems developed Single and Multi-Stage Sampling Systems.

Mineral producers can now come to McLanahan for systems that collect highly accurate samples. Under McLanahan, the line has been expanded to include other types of sampling crushers and sample processing solutions.
