Sherwood Valves LLC was opened as a subsidiary of Taylor-Wharton International LLC. Founded in 1742 Taylor-Wharton has several subsidiaries companies in China, Malaysia, Slovakia and the US.

The valve production subsidiary was established in 1938, in Washington. Success led to further facilities opening in New York and Ohio. It would be difficult to provide a full list of products that contain a valve or accessory produced in a Sherwood facility. They can be found in all types of industrial machinery, equipment used by medical professionals and in your household items such as fridge and washing machines.

If you ask most people to explain what they would use a valve for, they will likely describe a small mechanical device, that opens and closes to control the flow of liquids or gases. However it is in fact so much more. You just have to look around your home to find items that contain valves and accessories made by this company. You likely have an air condition unit, gas heaters, refrigerator products and many more household items you rely on to work at the flick of a switch or the turn of a knob. The valve opens or closes to help control the dispersion of the gas or liquid.

All types of medical equipment used in hospitals and clinics are fitted with a valve to control the flow of substances such as blood, plasma, oxygen and other gases. Much of the medical equipment is essential for treating patients and saving lives. Medical staff need to have confidence that the equipment they use is reliable and fit for purpose. The quality standards and regulations governing the production of parts for medical equipment need to be strictly adhered to by Sherwood.

Automated processes are used in the production process to maximise output and quality. Depending on which industry the parts are going to, the size, quality standards and safety regulations may differ. The production and quality processes are strictly regulated by external governing bodies.

The introduction of automated production processes and robotic machines tools allowed the company to meet the criteria for ISO 9001 certification. Product quality, processes and procedures are clearly documented and under regular review to ensure the methods continue to meet the strict criteria required for on-going certification.
