A History of Quality and Innovation
For nearly a century, Sherwood has
been a premier producer of gas control
products. We have earned a reputation
as a manufacturer that consistently meets
the highest industry standards.
Originally located in Buffalo, New York, Sherwood was acquired by the
Aluminum & Brass Company of Lockport, New York in 1923. Over the next
60 years, we earned a reputation for products that not only kept pace with
customer requirements, but also anticipated their changing needs.
In 1985, Sherwood was acquired by the Harsco Corporation, a merger
which greatly enhanced Sherwood’s financial position and increased the
opportunities for technological development. In 1996, Sherwood merged with
the Taylor-Wharton Gas Equipment division of Harsco. Today Sherwood Valve
is part of Taylor Wharton, LLC.
Our focus has expanded beyond LPG products to meet the needs of the
Energy marketplace. By building on our traditional LPG product lines,
Sherwood is focused on being a leading provider for both traditional and
emerging fuel technologies.
All Sherwood products are designed to meet the highest standards, and only
quality materials are used. Careful assembly and detailed inspection of every
part ensure top performance. Sherwood is fully certified to the stringent
requirements of ISO 9001, which enables us to compete confidently in the
global marketplace.
Sherwood is a totally integrated brass valve manufacturer. We manufacture
our own rod and raw forgings at our foundry. These forgings are then
machined into the bodies that we use in our valves. Because we
manufacture our own brass rod, we can control the alloy components more
closely, resulting in a more durable forging. The end result is a high-quality,
long-lasting valve that meets or exceeds industry standards.
Expertise
Sherwood’s diverse product lines of compressed gas, propane, refrigerant
gas, specialty gas, scuba diving and life support equipment have enabled us
to develop varied and diverse technical expertise. Careful assembly, detailed
inspection and 100% leak test of every valve ensures top performance.
