Founded in 1926, this third-generation American manufacturer has spent nearly a century designing and producing high-quality industrial strainers, filters, transfer valves, and pumps for fluid-handling and pipeline protection applications. The company serves a diverse range of industrial, commercial, and marine markets — including oil systems, cooling systems, energy production, and equipment manufacturing — and has built a trusted brand recognized for reliability, precision engineering, and responsive customer service.
The product portfolio includes simplex and duplex strainers, three-way (6-port) transfer valves, positive displacement liquid pumps, rotary air pumps, and replacement components, manufactured in cast iron, bronze, aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and special alloys for both standard and corrosive environments. The company pioneered the duplex three-way transfer valve and holds patents on several advanced features, including double-element strainer baskets and misassembly prevention devices — proprietary innovations that improve safety, efficiency, and ease of use.
All products are proudly made in the U.S.A. and are U.L. listed for fuel oil and flammable fluid service. A formal Quality Assurance Program governs every stage of design, manufacturing, and testing, with each product undergoing hydrostatic testing before shipment. Internal systems support accurate order processing, inventory control, traceability, and bar-coded labeling for customer inventory management.
The company operates from a well-maintained manufacturing and administrative facility with dedicated areas for precision machining, assembly, quality testing, and finished goods inventory. A large on-site inventory of standard components and finished products enables rapid order fulfillment. The location offers convenient access to major highways, ports, and freight services, along with a deep regional pool of skilled industrial labor.
Sales reach is supported by an extensive network of authorized representatives and distributors across the United States and internationally, with customers throughout North America, Europe, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. Many employees have long tenures, reflecting a strong internal culture of craftsmanship and technical expertise.
A new owner acquires a defensible platform — a nearly 100-year-old brand, patented technologies, U.S.-based manufacturing, and a loyal global customer base — with significant upside through modernization, expanded online tools, new product development, and deeper penetration of domestic and international markets.
