“We are excited with the purchase of Beric Valves and adding them exclusively to our family of PVF products,” said Rob Raban, president of IV. “The acquisition will further our ability to provide high-quality valves at competitive prices. The PVF marketplace continues to demand better service and value from its suppliers and this acquisition will help the company fulfill its mission to do just that.”

And we’ll be able to promote this advantage across all social media and online platforms.”
