In 2002 , Bonney Forge made the decision to add cast steel valves to its fine reputation of product manufacturing . To match its other products , the Bonney Forge team wanted a valve of superior quality , and so the team at Bonney implemented a unique testing program within the cast steel industry which resulted in a product line of unequaled strength , longevity , quality , and wear resistance .

“ After over 20 years in the cast steel valve manufacturing sector , Bonney Forge has established a production system that allows it to produce the highest quality valves in the industry ,” stated Harrigan . “ With our own in-house machining , assembly , and testing processes , we have developed a range of products whose merit can be seen through our presence on major end user approved manufacturers lists ( AMLs ).”

Customers in search of high-quality valves can select from Bonney Forge ’ s full line of cast steel gate , globe , and check valves , which service industries ranging from refining and petrochemical to power generation and renewables . With warehouse inventories exceeding 35 million in value , and the ability to efficiently provide custom products , Bonney Forge has earned its reputation as a go-to source for steel cast valve solutions .

Wholly Owned Facilities

“ While there are several practices used to elevate Bonney Forge ’ s cast steel valves , the company ’ s commitment to wholly owning each of its facilities is one

practice that distinguishes it from other manufacturers ,” stated Heald .

Bonney Forge has owned and operated each of its global facilities since its inception . With locations across the United States , Italy , and Shanghai , the company meets the needs of a global market , while maintaining its dedication

to achieving the highest quality across its full product range .

“ Wholly owning each of our facilities provides us with a lot of flexibility when it comes to production ,” explained Harrigan . “ We fully control each step in the process , such as machining , testing , inspection , and even painting . We can tailor any as-

pect of the valve ’ s construction necessary to accommodate the needs of our customers . Historically , this has allowed us to exceed our customer ’ s expectations .”

To address these expectations , Bonney Forge built a 60,000 sq . ft . warehouse and valve facility that sits on a 19-acre ‘ green field ’ site . This facility was planned and built with expansion capabilities in mind , and it houses the North American valve inventory . In addition to inventory , the assembly and testing operations at this facility simultaneously ensure that cast and forged valves meet or exceed all applicable product specifications .

Unlike other companies , Bonney Forge does not outsource any element of its cast steel valve manufacturing process ; in short , everything it produces is made at one of its locations . “ All of our facilities utilize the same machines , follow the same work procedure guidelines , and use the technologies and innovative valve designs that we develop in the United States ,” said Heald . “ We also conduct frequent technical visits to the facilities to ensure casting quality , machine tool modernization , and processing standardization . While some of the products may be fabricated overseas , the design , technologies , IT , and the standards used to create them are all governed by the processes Bonney Forge Corporation has established ,” continued Thomas .

As a corporation , Bonney Forge is continuously looking at each of its facilities from not only a personnel and quality standpoint but also from a production
