With the global economy still reeling from The Great Depression, Paul Symmons takes a tremendous risk and opens his own company in the vacant Chickering Piano Building in Boston. The foundation of Symmons Industries is cast. Little did he know at the time, but his early machine work with brass and stainless steel would eventually establish him as the innovator of the pressure-balancing shower valve – a time-tested design that remains as the industry benchmark. Symmons Industries is flourishing in the economic boom of the ‘50s and moves to a larger facility in South Boston. It’s here that Symmons commercial and institutional products were designed and developed, such as the ShowerOff® metering shower valve and the HydaPipe® shower system.
