Magnatrol Valve

What Magnatrol Valve does

Magnatrol Valve Corporation is a privately held, US-based industrial manufacturer specializing in 2-way solenoid valves for process control applications. Founded circa 1936–1948 (sources differ), the company is headquartered at 67 Fifth Avenue, Hawthorne, New Jersey, where it designs, manufactures, and tests its products in-house under an ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System. Its core offerings are bronze and stainless steel globe-pattern solenoid valves in normally closed and normally open configurations, with full-port (Type K/KR, L/LR) and reduced-port (Type M/MR) variants covering pipe sizes from 3/8" to 3" and fluid temperatures from -350°F to 400°F. The product line also includes specialty variants — Universal Mount (Type P), Sandy Well Water, Gritty Coolant, and Steam (Type W/WR) valves — plus the Clark Cooper Division, which extends the portfolio to valves larger than 3" and pressures up to 10,000 PSI, along with solenoid coils, strainers, and modification services such as special coatings (PTFE, Kynar, hard chrome) and custom trim materials.

The underlying technology centers on pilot-operated piston mechanisms that allow zero-to-maximum differential pressure operation, with specialized piston, poppet, and clearance designs for cryogenic, sediment-laden, and high-temperature steam service. The business is run on a configured-to-order, direct-sales model: industrial buyers specify type number, pipe size, material, pressure, voltage, and enclosure, then request quotes through the company website, with standard 3–7 day shipment and same/next-day rush capability. Pricing is unit-based and referenceable via a published price booklet (2026 edition). Customer segments are diverse — Chemical, Power, Petroleum, Pharmaceutical, Water & Waste, Navy, Marine, Food, Pulp & Paper, Metal, and Textile — and revenue is generated through one-time sales of valves plus add-on modifications, with no subscription, distributor, or software component to the model. The company does not disclose revenue or headcount, has no recorded external funding or M&A activity, and operates globally through direct shipments from its single New Jersey facility.

Revenue model

1. Solenoid Valve Sales: Magnatrol generates revenue primarily through the sale of industrial solenoid valves. The company manufactures bronze and stainless steel 2-way solenoid valves in various configurations (full port, reduced port) for process control applications. Valves are configured to order with specific parameters including pipe size, pressure rating, material, and end connections.
2. Valve Modifications and Customization: Through their Clark Cooper Division, Magnatrol offers modifications to general service solenoid valves including ANSI flanges, union ends, weld ends, position switches, special trim materials (316 SS, EPDM), special coatings (PTFE, Kynar, hard chrome), terminal boxes, and manual overrides. These modifications are available for additional pricing.

Core offering

Magnatrol Valve Corporation manufactures 2-way industrial solenoid valves in bronze and stainless steel constructions for process control applications. The company produces configured-to-order valves handling water, oil, steam, air, gas, cryogenics, solvents, oxygen, and corrosive fluids across pipe sizes from 3/8" to 3" and pressures up to 500 PSI standard (with high-pressure options up to 10,000 PSI via its Clark Cooper Division). All valves are manufactured and tested in-house at the Hawthorne, New Jersey facility under an ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System.

Product overview

Magnatrol Valve manufactures industrial solenoid valves as a single product line with multiple material and configuration variants. The core offering consists of Bronze and Stainless Steel 2-Way Solenoid Valves available in various type configurations (A/AR, D, G/GR, J/JR, K/KR, L/LR, M/MR, N/NR, S/SR, W/WR, P). Bronze valves handle general service applications while Stainless Steel valves address corrosive fluid requirements. Specialized variants include Universal Mount valves for multipoised installation, Sandy Well Water valves for sediment-laden fluids, Gritty Coolant valves for contaminated coolants, and Steam valves (W/WR) for high-temperature steam applications. The product line is complemented by solenoid coils, strainers, and modification services through the Clark Cooper Division. All valves are manufactured and tested in-house in the USA under ISO 9001:2015 certification with standard 3-7 day shipment.

Broad incumbents

• Crane Co. (Crane ChemPharma & Energy): Crane's ChemPharma & Energy segment manufactures process valves (including Saunders, DEPA, and Resistoflex brands) for chemical, power, and oil & gas. Comparable to Magnatrol on industrial valve offerings to chemical and power customers but at significantly greater scale and portfolio breadth.
• Watts Water Technologies: Watts is a broad-line manufacturer of valves, flow control, and water quality products serving plumbing, HVAC, and industrial markets. Overlaps with Magnatrol on valves for water/wastewater and some industrial applications but operates at significantly larger scale across many product families.
• Danfoss: Danfoss produces solenoid valves, pressure switches, and fluid handling components for HVAC, refrigeration, water, and industrial process markets. Comparable to Magnatrol on solenoid valve technology but operates at significantly greater scale and across a much broader product portfolio.
• Parker Hannifin: Parker is a diversified motion and control technologies company with a substantial solenoid and process valve portfolio (including the Skinner and Gold Ring lines). Overlaps with Magnatrol on industrial solenoid valves but competes primarily as a broad-line fluid power supplier rather than a niche specialist.
• IMI plc: IMI is a global industrial engineering company focused on flow control, with brands such as IMI Norgren, Bimba, and Herion offering solenoid valves for process and pneumatic applications. Overlaps with Magnatrol in industrial solenoid valves as part of a broader critical engineering portfolio.

Direct peers

• ASCO (Emerson): ASCO, part of Emerson, is one of the largest global manufacturers of 2-way and 3-way solenoid valves for process control, serving many of the same chemical, power, petroleum, and water/wastewater end markets as Magnatrol. Highly directly comparable on core product family and customer base.
• Spartan Scientific: Spartan Scientific is a US-based specialty manufacturer of solenoid valves, air pilot valves, and fluid control components for industrial automation. Highly comparable to Magnatrol as a smaller, focused solenoid valve maker serving similar OEM and end-user customers.
• Peter Paul Electronics: Peter Paul manufactures 2-way and 3-way solenoid valves in brass, stainless, and other materials for industrial and commercial applications. Direct competitor to Magnatrol on standard 2-way solenoid valves with similar body materials and pressure/temperature envelopes.
• Burkert Fluid Control Systems: Burkert manufactures solenoid, process, and pneumatic valves for chemical, pharmaceutical, water, and food/beverage applications. Direct overlap with Magnatrol on solenoid valve technology, materials (brass/bronze, stainless), and target verticals including cryogenic and corrosive fluid service.

Emerging players

• Plast-O-Matic Valves: Plast-O-Matic manufactures specialty valves (solenoid, pressure, check) focused on corrosive and ultrapure fluid applications in chemical, water treatment, and semiconductor. Comparable to Magnatrol on niche valve designs for difficult fluids but with a plastics-focused material set rather than metals.
