About Pima Valve

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 right on time as promised. We will not disappoint… our commitment is to meet the customers' delivery requirements.
