Crane Engineering expands partnership with ITT Engineered Valves, growing distribution for fluid technology solutions throughout the Midwest.

KIMBERLY, Wis. (August 2, 2023) – Crane Engineering, a leading distributor of fluid technology solutions in the Midwest, announced today that it was awarded distributor partnership with ITT Engineered Valves for Dia-Flo, Cam-Line, Cam-Tite and exclusivity for the high purity Pure-Flo product line. This remarkable expansion follows Crane Engineering’s previous and ongoing distribution of ITT Engineered Valves’ Fabri-Valve line.

The newly added products are built with heavy-duty materials, great for corrosive applications, and are designed to accommodate the rigorous standards of many industries, particularly pharmaceutical, chemical processing, nuclear and power generation, mining, water treatment, and food & beverage. These product lines are key for customers with unique flow control and safety requirements.  

“ITT is thrilled to expand its relationship with Crane Engineering,” said Steve Burch, North American sales manager for ITT Engineered Valves. “We are confident ITT’s quality products, along with Crane’s technical expertise and focus on customer satisfaction, will benefit our collaborative teams and all of our customers moving forward.”
