Alkon is unique in many ways. We’ve been privately held for more than 30 years. Our executives are major shareholders in the company and are not only active in the company every day, but passionate about our success.
Alkon began as a small startup with a single line in Hawthorne, New Jersey, in the mid-1950s. We’ve grown every year since.
Alcon started making valves in the mid-1960s and developed several innovative, now-patented designs. In 1982 we introduced our unique line of brass push-to-connect (PTC) fittings. In 1999 we moved our corporate headquarters to Fremont, Ohio. In 2000 our valve offering quadrupled with the purchase of ISI Fluid Power.
Today, Alkon Corporation is a multinational manufacturer and global supplier of superior quality valves, fittings and flow controls. Also, our main manufacturing facility, the Ohio plant, has grown from 7,000 to over 60,000 square feet. Our facility in Mexico produces forgings and performs primary machining on many parts.
