AUTO-VALVE, INC

AUTO-VALVE, INC specializes in the design, manufacture, and supply of high-integrity industrial and aerospace fluid control components, with deep expertise in poppet drain cocks, relief valves, and precision valve assemblies. The company’s technical capabilities center on mission-critical fluid systems requiring stringent pressure regulation, leak-tight sealing, and ruggedized performance under extreme environmental conditions. Their production processes align with military and aerospace quality standards, focusing on metallurgical precision, dimensional tolerancing, and functional testing of valve mechanisms used in aircraft, ground vehicles, and defense systems. Key differentiators include in-house machining of complex valve bodies, poppet and seat assembly expertise, and the ability to replicate legacy military specifications for sustainment applications. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense and its logistics arms, particularly DLA Land and Maritime, delivering replacement and sustainment components for armored vehicles, aircraft fuel systems, and hydraulic control units. Work for DLA Aviation involves specialized aircraft valve assemblies critical to engine and auxiliary power unit operations. These engagements reflect a pattern of long-term support for legacy and active military platforms requiring certified, interchangeable parts. Industry focus is firmly rooted in industrial valve manufacturing (NAICS 332911) and other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (NAICS 336413), with secondary capabilities in aircraft engine components and related metal fittings. The company positions itself as a niche supplier of mission-essential fluid control hardware, serving defense and aerospace systems where reliability and interchangeability are non-negotiable. AUTO-VALVE, INC is a small business structured as a 2L entity, headquartered in Dayton, Ohio. While no federal certifications are listed, its consistent award history with DoD and DLA agencies indicates proven compliance with defense supply chain requirements, including quality control, traceability, and delivery performance. The company’s geographic location places it within a key aerospace and defense manufacturing corridor, reinforcing its role as a trusted supplier to U.S. national security programs.
