As a business, we are thrilled to reach the remarkable milestone of 225 years in 2023 – a truly special year for Shipham Valves.
Humble beginnings – a brass foundry
As a brass foundry, Shipham Valves supplied local fishing and commercial fishing fleets on the River Humber with brass valves, bells, cocks, gauges, and whistles. In the early days, documents indicate the business shared premises with another business in central Hull.
As the economy changes and markets fluctuate, demands placed on businesses can be challenging. Shipham Valves has experienced its fair share of obstacles just like many other businesses.
Maintaining strong links with Humber and North Yorkshire regions
Although business ownership has changed several times, it has maintained strong links with Hull, Humber, and East and North Yorkshire. We have maintained a global reputation for manufacturing high-quality non-ferrous valves that support a wide range of complex industrial applications.
Working with the British MOD
Following an approach from the British Ministry of Defence, the company began manufacturing valves in bronze and gunmetal materials to meet bespoke requirements.
Business Transformation
As a result of this investment in the manufacturing plant, facilities and eight new modern machine centres, Shipham Valves can produce valves from ½ inch to 48 inch in-house.
