Dante Valve Company, Inc.

Dante Valve History

Thomas C. Dante founded Dante Valve Company in 1960, with the goal of building the company into an independent master distributor of all makes and types of safety, relief and safety relief valves. The company grew quickly and now employs Tom's children, Chuck and Mike, and grandchildren Lisa, Matt, and Tom.

Highlights in the company's history include:

In 1965, Dante Valve was the first to offer a two-year warranty on both new and reconditioned valves. The two-year warranty has now become the industry standard.

In 1975, Dante Valve moved to its current location, a facility with more than 30,000 square feet of warehousing and manufacturing space on over one acre of land.

In 1983, the Dante family created Danco Valve Company, a manufacturer of naval mil-spec relief valves. Danco Valve was formed specifically to become a service oriented, specialty manufacturer with a large inventory of available stock. Prior to Danco Valve's inception, competitive manufacturers took over 30 days to quote standard inquiries and as much as one year to deliver their product. Danco Valve's inventory policy rocked the industry by making mil-spec valves available with a 24-hour delivery time.

In 1999, Dante Valve was certified by the National Board of Pressure and Vessel Inspectors as an authorized valve repair facility under the {VR} Code Stamp program.

In 2000, Dante Valve celebrated its 40th anniversary by becoming ASME and National Board certified to apply the {V} and {UV} code stamps as a loose assembler for Conbraco Industries.
