Our Many Facilities
We are a fully integrated manufacturer owning all of the processes required to produce our valves. From the design, to the foundry, to the machining and processing, to the assembly and test, we own it and control it. This streamlined, tightly controlled system generates highly consistent product tailored to your needs at a cost that won’t break the budget.
