In 1963, NIBCO bought the Scott Valve Company located in Blytheville, Arkansas, which marked the company’s entry in the industrial valve market and establishment of NIBCO’s presence in Mississippi County. NIBCO soon emerged as a market leader in the manufacture of ductile and cast iron-body gate, globe, check, and butterfly valves.
When many companies were moving manufacturing offshore in the 1990s, NIBCO remained dedicated to investing in our future by staying in Blytheville, Arkansas. In 2011, NIBCO completed a 44,000-square-foot expansion of the iron valve facility, increasing NIBCO’s manufacturing capacity and marking the opening of its distribution center. In 2017 and 2019, NIBCO continued its investment in Blytheville by purchasing two additional buildings totaling more than 200,000 square feet. Today, the NIBCO campus in Blytheville has more than 500,000 square feet of manufacturing and distribution space.

This location provides NIBCO access to manufacture and ship from one location to anywhere in the world reducing lead time and keeping projects on schedule.” David Goodling, Senior Vice President – Supply Chain
