W. George McClean & Archibold C. Anderson founders
Design & fabrication of composite production equipment
W. George McClean and Archibald C. Anderson founded McClean Anderson in 1961 as a creative
engineering firm located on Holton Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
They engaged in consulting as well as design and fabrication of composite production equipment
based on a novel reinforced plastic process developed by Mr. McClean.
This process became what is now known as "filament winding".
The Company grew in size and relocated in 1976
to a larger facility at 10600 West Glenbrook Court.
Shortly thereafter, McClean Anderson reinforced its
position as an industry pioneer by developing and
introducing the first computer controlled filament
winding machines. Computer control greatly
improved winding accuracy and production speeds.
In 1977, McClean Anderson became a subsidiary of
Price Brothers Company of Dayton, Ohio. In 1992,
Industrial Service and Machine, Inc. purchased
McClean Anderson and relocated all operations to
Schofield, Wisconsin.
