Made in America
Engineered, Built, and Tested in the United States
International Valve is an American-based manufacturer proudly serving the water and wastewater industry. Our facility, located in Sugar Grove, Illinois, is where every Vent-Tech valve is engineered, machined, fabricated, coated, assembled, finished, tested, and packaged. This includes—but is not limited to—models WTR, WZR, WTW, WZW, RAW, SWG, SZG, SDG, SSG, SXG, SKW, and SKZ. When allowed by contract or law, some raw materials and/or ancillary components in our products may be of foreign origin.
Material Sourcing and Contractual Compliance
When required by contract or law, International Valve controls and verifies the compliance of the source of origin for all raw materials used in the production of our products. In cases where no domestic content requirements apply, and raw materials are sourced on the open market, imported materials may be incorporated. Even in those cases, all engineering, machining, fabricating, coating, assembly, finishing, testing, and packaging take place entirely at our Sugar Grove, IL facility.
