Hunt Valve Co. announced it has acquired Montreal Bronze Ltd. The acquisition brings MB into the Hunt Valve portfolio of severe duty valve and automation technologies under the new name MB Valve.
Founded in 1985, MB Valve supplies severe-duty, bronze marine valves including qualified U.S., Canadian and NATO-friendly Navy MIL-STD valves, and specialty valves for pharmaceutical and nuclear applications.
Hunt Valve is a specialty valve engineering and manufacturing company serving the U.S. Navy and industrial customers worldwide. It is a portfolio company of Chicago-based May River Capital, a private equity firm focused on lower middle-market industrial growth businesses.
“The MB Valve acquisition is another example of Hunt’s commitment to strategically deploy capital in support of the U.S. Navy’s drive toward a 355-ship fleet and helping to solve U.S. Navy supply chain challenges,” said Charles Ferrer, president of Hunt Valve. “MB Valve expands and complements Hunt Valve’s product offering and provides access to additional U.S. Navy and international shipyards and industrial customers.”
“The added resources, both financial and organizational, afforded by Hunt underpins a new wave of high performance/cost effective manufacturing and technical know-how that will be a key part of the Navy supply chain in the coming years,” said David Bala, MB’s President.
