Clow Valve- Core Machine Operator

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.;

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 were merged in Oskaloosa under Clow Corporation, Valve Division. In June 1985, McWane Incorporated purchased all the stock of Clow and Clow became a wholly owned subsidiary of McWane. Clow Valve Company, including Oskaloosa and Corona, was formed and is how we are known today.
