Excellence means never standing still. We believe quality exists on a continuum that is composed of equal parts hard work and thought leadership.
Focus on Partnership
We succeed by establishing engineer-to-engineer relationships that promote discussion, partnership, new ideas, and trust throughout every step of the development process.
100 years of Innovation
We are rooted in the Steel City of Pittsburgh, where in 1919 we first built products to support the troops during WWI. Today we combine expertise, optimism, ingenuity, and pride to lead the rebirth of American Industrial Tech.
McDanel is different than other industry suppliers in that their customer service is responsive and creates positive solutions. We can count on McDanel to perform professionally and support our needs.

The quality at McDanel is better than other companies and customer satisfaction is very high. Additionally, we can rely on McDanel to respond promptly to our detailed needs. Also, productivity has increased due to improved yield in assembly by using McDanel ceramic tubes.
McDanel Customer
We order our ceramic components only from McDanel. Even if we could save money with another supplier, we wouldn't switch. We are not cost sensitive, we are quality sensitive.

What got me interested in ceramics is the fact that ceramics enable technologies that can’t be done in any other way.
