Val-Matic Corporate Responsibility

A Letter from our President and CEO

Val-Matic is committed to providing the highest quality products, services, and information to our customers, while at the same time embrace a sincere responsibility to our fellow citizens and the global environment. Many of our products are used in drinking water systems making it imperative for us to be cognizant of consumer safety in all of material selections, especially with consideration to lead-free materials. We pride ourselves in the design of energy-savings valves that reduce pumping costs and in turn reduce the carbon footprint. Similarly, our factories take energy savings and the environment to heart in implementing new processes. The Company and individual employees actively participate in many organizations and associations that support safe and environmentally sound products and systems to protect the public. Our employees are part owners of the Company through an Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP) and therefore have a stake in the success of these programs. After 50 years of providing safe and innovative products for people, we at Val-Matic pledge to continue to improve in these endeavors and help create a better world for all.

Covid-19 Company Update:
Val-Matic Valve continues to operate during these unprecedented times to manufacture products that are needed for our critical water and wastewater infrastructure. In addition, some of our employees committed to using some of our resources to manufacture face masks for health care workers. We care deeply about the health and safety of our employees, customers and communities and continue to follow all the CDC guidelines in our operations. Unfortunately, this may mean that we are unable to meet face-to-face with our customers during these times, but rest assured, we are fully staffed and poised to serve your needed remotely.

During these uncertain times, we saw some significant interruptions in our supply chain which we are working to overcome. Some projects may be affected by this crisis, but we are committed to meet the needs of our customers as we are able. Your continued support and patience during this period are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
John V. Ballun
