CHANDLER, Ariz. - Hunt Valve Company (Hunt Valve), a specialty valve engineering and manufacturing company serving the United States Navy and industrial customers worldwide, announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Pima Valve.

“The financial and organizational resources afforded by Hunt Valve’s acquisition of Pima Valve underpins a strategic push toward high-performance, cost-effective manufacturing and technical know-how that will be a key part of the Navy supply chain in the coming years,” said David Bala, president of Pima and MB Valve, divisions of Hunt Valve. “Hunt has demonstrated through its acquisition and integration of MB Valve in March 2019 that they understand our business. The Hunt Valve team has deep bench strength in our industry. Combine that strength with what MB Valve and now Pima Valve bring to the table, and our customers will see the benefit in the long haul.”
