Rodney Hunt

Rodney Hunt, founded in 1840 by Mr. Rodney Hunt, is a manufacturer of cast iron gates, fabricated gates, flap gates, stop logs, crest gates, roller gates, radial gates, and knife gate valves. The company has over 180 years of industry experience and is the largest cast iron gate and fabricated gate manufacturer in the world. It offers domestic manufacturing compliant with AIS, Buy American, and Domestic Iron/Steel requirements.

Founded in 1840 by Mr. Rodney Hunt, the company's earliest products were utilized in New England's textile mills and included plows, simple wooden machines, wooden water wheels, and gates. From the late 19th to the mid-20th centuries, the Rodney Hunt Company expanded its product line to include textile manufacturing machinery, pumps, governors, thin-film evaporators, as well as hydraulic and mechanical equipment. After surviving a major flood in 1936 and a hurricane in 1938, the company grew significantly. During and after World War II, Rodney Hunt's wet-finishing textile machines were introduced to the international market, while sluice gates and other water control equipment built a significant domestic market. With the introduction of the Clean Water Act in 1972, the company decided to focus on the growing water control industry, leading to the sale of the textile wet-finishing division in 1975 and the industrial roll division.
