Val-Matic Valve was founded in 1966 by Andrew Nuter and is a manufacturer of fourteen valve product lines for the water and wastewater, industrial, commercial building construction, and plumbing industries with an additional manufacturing facility in Addison, Illinois.

“My management team and I are excited and proud to join the family-owned, historic company A.Y. McDonald. Val-Matic has a similar tradition of serving customers in the water works market for over 50 years with quality products and services,” said John V. Ballun, Val-Matic president and CEO. 

Rob McDonald, A.Y. McDonald CEO added, “We are excited to welcome Val-Matic into our family of companies. We look forward to continuing the success of Val-Matic and growing the company in the same manner as it has the past 54 years under the ownership and direction of the Nuter family. We will continue to invest in Val-Matic’s people and product lines to make this company even stronger and more successful in the years ahead.”

Each company will continue to operate independently with separate management, market strategies and sales operations.
