The story
DFT Inc. traces its history to 1911, when it was founded in New York City as the Durabla Manufacturing Company. After moves to Strafford and Paoli, Pennsylvania, the company settled at its current Exton, Pennsylvania facility in 1985.
The company designs and manufactures in-line check valves and severe service control valves, including the Basic-Check, ALC, DLC, Excalibur and HI-100 product lines, serving industrial and process markets worldwide from its Pennsylvania facility.
Why they matter
Industrial valve manufacturing is frequently outsourced overseas with no facility ever named. DFT Inc. instead names its own Pennsylvania address and a manufacturing history spanning more than a century.
Buying from a manufacturer that names its own facility keeps valve engineering and production, and the jobs behind it, in Pennsylvania.
