Job description

Company Description

We are a leading manufacturer of water valves and fire hydrants. We are a division of McWane Corporation with sister companies in the US and Canada. The Iowa Valve Company was established in Oskaloosa in 1909 by W W Corey and Herman W Read to build hydrants and valves. The original location of "THE VALVE" is the current Machine Shop location on South Second St., and the original buildings are still part of that facility. The Eddy Valve Company was founded in 1849 by George Eddy in Waterford, New York. In 1878, Clow was formed in Chicago as a jobber of wrought iron pipe and other foundry products. The company was then known as James B Clow and Sons. Clow acquired Eddy Valve in 1945 and Iowa Valve in 1947. These were operated separately at their original locations until 1970 when they merged in Oskaloosa under Clow Corporation, Valve Division.

The original South Second Street facility housed all operations of "THE VALVE", including a brass foundry, an iron foundry, and a machine shop for machining and building valves and hydrants. In 1967, demand grew, and the iron foundry was relocated and expanded to the southeast edge of Oskaloosa. When Eddy and Iowa merged in 1970, the brass foundry was relocated to the iron foundry site on 17th Ave. East.

In June 1985, McWane Incorporated purchased all stock of Clow, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. Clow Valve Company, including facilities in Oskaloosa and Corona, was formed, and this is our current identity.

Today, Clow Valve Company is a respected manufacturer of waterworks valves and fire hydrants. We produce 2" through 48" diameter Resilient Seated valves, as well as dry and wet barrel fire hydrants. Our Machine Shop and Metal Casting Facility utilize state-of-the-art technology concerning safety, quality, and production. The Clow Machine Shop has been ISO 9000 certified since 2002. Our Foundry is recognized as a Voluntary Protection Program Merit Site by OSHA. We look forward to serving Oskaloosa for the next 100 years.
