Mueller Industries reported in Q2 2026 the acquisition of Bison Metals Technologies LLC, strengthening its copper tube manufacturing footprint for HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration markets. Operating segments remain diversified across piping systems, industrial metals, and climate products, supplying OEMs and distributors across North America, Europe, and Asia.
