Fresno Valves and Castings, Inc. was founded in 1952 as Showalter's Irrigation Appliance. At that time, the company produced a quality line of irrigation gates. 1958 marked the acquisition of Martin Iron Works and the addition of an aluminum foundry. In 1974, due to overwhelming growth, the company built a new modern facility and changed its name to Fresno Valves & Castings, Inc. Over the past 25 years, Fresno Valves & Castings has expanded to include three major divisions (introduced below) and nine offices throughout the United States servicing markets throughout the world.
