APCO Valves: A Rich Heritage of Innovation

Since its founding, APCO has built a legacy of engineering excellence and innovation in the valve industry. It all began in 1895, when the APCO Valve and Primer Corporation introduced the world’s first automatic pump primers. These groundbreaking products quickly gained recognition for their ingenuity and effectiveness, setting the stage for APCO’s long-standing commitment to advancing valve technology.

As the company grew, so did its product innovations. In 1957, APCO launched a line of Air Valves and Check Valves. These products were engineered to solve real-world challenges in water and wastewater systems, bringing new levels of performance, reliability, and durability to municipalities and industrial users alike. APCO’s air and check valves became known for their ability to handle a wide range of flow conditions, and earned the trust of operators, engineers, and specifiers around the globe.

In 2011, the legacy of innovation continued when DeZURIK acquired APCO. This strategic move brought together two well-renowned brands in valve manufacturing. By incorporating APCO’s proven air valve and check valve technologies into DeZURIK’s already robust portfolio, the company was able to offer customers even greater value and performance in water and wastewater applications. Today, APCO brand valves continue to provide value in  projects across municipal, industrial, and infrastructure markets worldwide.

With more than a century of innovation behind it, APCO remains a trusted name in the valve industry. Its legacy lives on through continued product advancements, a commitment to engineering excellence, and a focus on delivering reliable, high-performance valve solutions that meet the demands of modern systems.
