Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Masco Corporation expanded its operations and product offerings, becoming a major supplier of plumbing products and components. The company went public in 1961, providing capital for strategic acquisitions and expansion.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Masco Corporation pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy, acquiring numerous brands across different building products categories. The company acquired Delta faucets in 1979, establishing itself as a major player in the plumbing fixtures market.
