A History of Quality and Innovation

For nearly a century, Sherwood has been the world’s leading

provider of system-critical compressed gas solutions serving
blue-chip bulk and specialty gas manufacturers, distributors
and storage & delivery system providers (OEMs).
Sherwood had its beginnings in Buffalo, NY in All Sherwood products are designed to meet
1923. Over the last 90 years, we have earned a the highest standards, and only quality materials
reputation for products that not only keep pace are used. For example, Sherwood’s specialty gas

of worldwide industry leaders, distributors,
We’re using the latest technology available to manufacturing representatives and customers
lower costs and increase quality. For example, supporting continuous improvement. Sherwood
Sherwood’s Industrial Automation Center produces is your partner for the best quality valves,
up to 6500 assembled and tested valves per shift. delivered on time, at the best possible price!
And to help ensure quality for our customers, this
equipment features automated self-diagnostic
and maintenance procedures that increase
manufacturing efficiency and output.

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.
