History

In 1864, John Watt Johnston purchased the defunct Turnbull Boiler Works of Ferrysburg, Michigan. He had no way of knowing he was founding a company whose business destiny would parallel the unprecedented industrial growth of a nation not yet 100 years old.

For 150 years, Johnston Boiler has been manufacturing the highest quality products. With an innovative spirit from day one, J.W. Johnston saw the untapped potential of the area and seized the opportunity to turn a broken down boiler company into the nation’s top supplier.

But that’s just the beginning. Click here to read more about our history.
