To truly grasp the depth of Crane’s contributions today, one must first appreciate the multi-generational history of the valve.
While Crane’s involvement in valve manufacturing dates back to the mid-1800s, the origins of valves trace back to the Roman Empire.
These early devices played a crucial role in intricate canal systems, channelling water from rivers and... [Read More]

The inherent irony that is at the root of many industrial manufacturing processes is this: oftentimes, “bad” things are needed to produce “good” things. Or, to be a little more specific, hazardous things are needed to manufacture useful things. Manufacturers who produce chemical-based compounds such as caustics, acids, solvents and polymers should be well aware... [Read More]
