In 1895, Dave Lennox designed the first riveted-steel furnace in his machine shop in Marshalltown, Iowa. By the early 1900s, the manufacture of these furnaces, a vast improvement over the cast-iron furnaces of the time, had grown into a significant business and was diverting Dave from his passion for inventing. At this time, a group of investors led by D.W. Norris bought the furnace business and, over the years, ownership of the company was passed on to succeeding generations of the Norris family. In 1999, the company completed the initial public offering of its common stock.
The company is now based in Texas but retains a strong presence in Iowa, with a 996,000 square foot factory in Marshalltown and a 250,000 square foot distribution center in Des Moines.
