Founded in 1901 by a small group of industrialists as a metal fabricating shop, the original manufacturer of Milliken® valves entered the valve industry in 1926 with design/development of the first rubber seated butterfly valve. Growth of the company has been closely associated with the growth of the rubber seat butterfly valve. The company offers a full line of butterfly valves including bonded seat, rubber seat, and buried service, available in varying sizes from 3 to 162 inches and meeting specific AWWA and ANSI standards.
