Jefferson

What Jefferson does

Jefferson is a privately held US manufacturer of solenoid valves and complementary fluid-control products, headquartered in Miami and operating since 1962 with a workforce of 251–500 employees. The company designs and builds electromagnetic valves that control fluid and gas flow via electrical actuation, organized into four product categories: general purpose (water, air, inert gases), combustion use (fuel oil, heavy oil, bio-diesel, burners), 3 & 4 way multi-port valves, and special service applications (cryogenic, CNG shutoff, anti-water hammer, manual reset). Its catalog spans over 3,000 models across multiple body materials (brass, bronze, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron), seat materials (Buna, Neoprene, EPDM, Viton, Teflon), pipe sizes (1/8" to 2" NPT), and action types (direct acting, pilot operated, combined), with complementary strainers/filters and level controls.

The business operates a horizontal B2B model, selling configured-to-order units (priced approximately $79 to $2,948) through two channels: a direct e-commerce storefront on jeffersonvalves.com and a regional network of local distributors. Customers span industrial combustion OEMs, general industrial process operators, equipment OEMs (instrumentation, dental, welding, humidification), and specialized gas-handling applications. Jefferson holds UL, CE, ATEX, and CSA certifications, allowing it to serve regulated and hazardous-environment markets across the US, Canada, and the European Economic Area.
