The Wagner Manufacturing Company was a family-owned manufacturer of cast iron and aluminum products based in Sidney, Ohio, US. It made products for domestic use such as frying pans, casseroles, kettles and baking trays, and also made metal products other than cookware. Wagner was active between 1891 and 1952, and at one time dominated the cookware market, selling in Europe and the US. Subsequent owners of the company continued to operate the Sidney plant until it closed in 1999. As of 2022, the newly formed Wagner Cast Iron manufactures reissues of historic Wagner products.
