To truly appreciate the scope of Crane’s offering today, one must first understand the multi-generation history of the valve.
Since its inception, Crane has been an innovator in the valve space, consistently developing new products and solutions for the transfer of fluids. Understanding that innovation is more than introducing an invention, Crane has always embraced a culture of differentiation that centers around creating effective value propositions that set its products apart from its competitors.
On July 6, 1905, sixteen trains of ten cars each carried the Company’s employees, their families, and their picnic baskets to Northwestern Park (sixteen miles from Chicago on the banks of the Des Plaines River) to celebrate the Company’s Fifty-Year Jubilee. Richard Teller Crane was a man ahead of his time, who, that day, talked about the values that bound them all together and about his profound happiness at being there with his employees to commemorate their company’s fifty years of growth since its founding as a one-man brass and bell foundry.
