History
Strahman Valves was founded in 1921 by brothers Theodore and Herman Strahman. Starting as a distributor of European valve products, they transitioned to designing and manufacturing their own line of valves. They pioneered the first free-flowing, non-clogging piston tank bottom and drain valve for the U.S. dairy industry and introduced the industry's first steam-and-cold-water safety mixing unit. In 1958, the company relocated headquarters from New York City to New Jersey. In 2004, Strahman acquired MG Process Valves in France. In 2006, they opened a new headquarters and U.S. manufacturing facility.
