With a legacy spanning over nine decades, MPP has established itself as a trusted name in the residential, commercial and institutional markets.

Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of Mansfield Plumbing’s operations. The company embraces a triple bottom line approach, focusing on social, economic and environmental responsibilities. MPP’s initiatives aim to meet current needs while safeguarding resources for future generations. Their dedication to reducing raw materials, optimizing production processes and recycling is evident in every aspect of their business.
Key Sustainability Initiatives:
- Material Conservation: MPP actively reduces the use of raw materials, thereby minimizing waste and the environmental impact of water treatment processes.
- Energy Efficiency: The company has significantly reduced its natural gas consumption, achieving lower rates than the industry standard for sanitary ware.
- Waste Recovery and Recycling: MPP reuses energy from production processes and promotes recycling among employees, further committing to environmental stewardship.
Cutting-Edge Manufacturing
Mansfield takes pride in its state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities. Its automated facilities in Mexico and Colombia, along with a specialized plant in Texas for acrylic bathware, ensure rigorous quality control and product testing. As a result, MPP has earned a reputation as the “Brand of Choice” among professional plumbing contractors and consumers alike.
A Diverse and Innovative Product Line
Mansfield offers an extensive range of products, including vitreous ceramic toilets, stylish acrylic air-baths, whirlpools and bathtubs. With more than 100 new products launched since 2002, MPP is dedicated to enhancing its portfolio while maintaining affordability and elegance.
Looking Ahead: A Focus on Wholesale Distribution
In 2019, MPP made a strategic pivot, opting to withdraw from big-box retailers like Lowe’s to concentrate on strengthening partnerships with wholesale distributors. This shift allows MPP to deliver more tailored service and support to its wholesale partners, enhancing collaboration and communication.
The company is committed to serving its wholesale network, aiming for 95% of orders to be processed in under 10 business days. With a keen focus on reliability and product quality, MPP is positioning itself for future growth in both the wholesale and commercial markets.

What sets Mansfield apart is its family-owned ethos and commitment to sustainability. The company prioritizes employee well-being, environmental responsibility and exceptional customer service. With a focus on transparency and communication, Mansfield ensures that real people are available to assist customers, enhancing the overall experience.
