Our Roots

Whirlaway residential food waste disposers date back to 1958 when the Whirlaway company of Los Angeles was founded. The Tappan Company (founded in 1881) bought Whirlaway in 1964. At that time, Tappan owned the Crystal Disposer Mfg. Co., and in 1966 both Whirlaway and Crystal combined resources and formed the Anaheim Manufacturing Co. The Sinkmaster product brand label was developed as a response to public demand in the retail environment and has been a top seller ever since.

The Waste King company, a household and commercial name in garbage disposers since 1946, was acquired in 1994 with the purchase of Waste King from Masco Corp. Waste King was the first complete line of garbage disposers selling to the residential and commercial markets. Waste King has become a trusted name through it's history and national network of plumbing wholesalers, retail outlets and restaurant and hotel equipment dealers.

Household names you can trust.

With brand names such as Waste King, Whirlaway, Sinkmaster, Quick & Hot and Instant 190 and many private brand labels, Anaheim Manufacturing continues to lead the way with performance and value, both domestically and internationally.
