Founded
in 1967 and located 18 miles southeast of Phoenix, Arizona on the
Gila River Indian Reservation, PIMA VALVE, INC. is a leader in the
marine valve industry. Our leadership is sustained by a commitment
to what we consider are the basic manufacturing requirements: Produce
high quality products from top grade materials; Employ the best
available people and equipment; Continually increase machining capabilities;
Remain flexible to meet and exceed customer requests; Maintain a
safe and efficient facility.
People
make the difference, therefore only the best will do. The average
tenure among our employees is 18 years. We continually cross train
personnel to perform a multitude of functions, thereby maximizing
the potential of both operator and equipment. Tight manufacturing
tolerances mandate machine designs that allow consistent component
reproduction. Our modern CNC equipment, mills and lapping machines
ensure a perfect fit every time.
We
pride ourselves in the manufacture of standard catalog production
type valves. However we are especially proud of our ability to furnish
the "not so standard" product. Whether an old pattern
no longer available or new product design, we fill the order. With
basic dimension and application information we will produce engineered
drawings of the finished product. Utilizing the best materials available,
our in-house pattern shop will quickly produce any required design.
Add the experience and expertise of our operating officers and PIMA
VALVE generates unsurpassed flexibility and ingenuity.
Our
flexibility includes recognizing and embracing industry advancements.
Motor operated valve applications have increased in recent years.
PIMA VALVE answers customers request by adapting any valve configuration
to hydraulic, pneumatic or electric operation. We design valve/operator
assemblies to specific customer requirements. The result is a sophisticated
piece of equipment using the latest technology.
Matching
production requirements with shop capacity, our senior staff provide
accurate production schedules. We do not provide arbitrary dates
to receive awards but actual, reliable delivery commitments. We
understand that customers rely on our ability to get the job done
