DeZURIK

DeZURIK is a globally recognized valve manufacturer headquartered at 250 Riverside Avenue North in Sartell, Minnesota, with roots tracing to 1928 when Matt DeZurik invented the eccentric plug valve to solve pine pitch buildup at a local paper mill. The company operates under seven distinct brands — DeZURIK, APCO, HILTON, Willamette, Red Valve, Tideflex, and RKL Controls — each acquired strategically to broaden its valve portfolio. Today DeZURIK designs and manufactures over 60 valve styles spanning plug valves (PEC/PEF eccentric series), butterfly valves (BAW AWWA, BHP high-performance, BOS resilient-seated), knife gate valves in Premier, General Service, Severe Service, Abrasion Resistant, O-Port, HydroPower, and Special Construction configurations, check valves (APCO CVS-6000 swing, CRF rubber flapper, CSC silent, CPC SmartCHECK pump control), air valves (APCO ASU combination, ARV air release, AVC single-body combination for both clean water and sewage service), surge relief valves (SRA series), and ball/cone valves (Willamette VMC cone, VBL metal-seated ball). The company also produces actuators (PowerRac cylinder, LA-Series, Compak), digital and analog positioners (P30A, P62 Fisher FIELDVUE, P85 Siemens SIPART), and hydraulic power units. Strategic acquisitions include APCO and Willamette in 2011, HILTON in 2012, and Red Valve/Tideflex in 2021. Primary markets include sewage treatment, water treatment and distribution, oil and gas downstream, mining, pulp and paper, power generation, and hydropower.
