The acquisition of Renfro Associates Inc. heralds the expansion of Rotork’s valve adaptation and accessories business, with manufacture in the USA adding to Rotork Valvekits well established UK based operations. The combined resources of both companies have created the largest operation of its kind in the world.

From its home in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Renfro Associates has been designing and manufacturing valve automation packages encompassing actuators, gearboxes, instrumentation and fabricated adaptation for flow control applications in industries including oil & gas, water treatment and food processing since 1979.

The company’s in-house CAD facilities, combined with a modern machine shop and welding equipment, have earned an impressive reputation for the manufacture of quality actuated valve packages of all sizes to meet the demands of virtually any duty.

When asked about the acquisition, Rotork Chief Executive Peter France explained: ‘Renfro is a long established business with an excellent reputation for delivering high quality product and service to its customers. The acquisition provides us with the opportunity to repeat the success of our UK based Valvekits business by expanding the Renfro offer across the USA.’
