Ham Baker & Co produced a wide range of products including hydrants, white porcelain bricks, manhole covers, lamp posts, sewage vents and assorted sundries for piping systems. Like a lot of major companies, Ham Baker had a postal address in London but manufacturing took place at a canalside factory in Warley, West Midlands. In early 1983 the company was taken over by the Biwater Group.
