$19M investment expanding operations for century-old Alabama valve manufacturer
Reading time: 2 minutes
M&H Valve first made their home in Anniston back in 1925 and more than a century later, the company is still making investments to stick around in east Alabama.
The manufacturer recently announced a new $7.6 million investment, adding to its total investment of $19 million over the last year.
The funding is expected to make major improvements including:
- New CNC equipment
- New blast machinery
- Expanded production area
- New automated system
- Replace foundry + legacy equipment to improve production reliability
The company said the investment has allowed them to replace machinery that has been in service for more than 20 years and had reached the end of its functional life.
M&H Valve’s continued capital commitments in Anniston demonstrate what happens when you combine cutting-edge manufacturing technology with a skilled, dedicated workforce. These projects aren’t just about new equipment—they’re about positioning Alabama workers to lead in precision manufacturing and ensuring our state remains competitive in producing the infrastructure components that communities across America depend on.”
Ellen McNair, Alabama Secretary of Commerce
M&H Valve
The company’s investment at the Anniston facility has come in three stages since the start of 2025 but the most recent is the largest of the three.
Construction and installation timelines for the various projects are currently underway, with different areas scheduled to be completed in 2026. M&H hopes these improvements position the facility to support a growing market demand while maintaining high standards of quality, safety and operational performance.
“This level of investment reflects M&H Valve’s assurance in its Anniston workforce and the community. Their investments not only strengthen operational capabilities but also sustain high-quality jobs that offer long-term career opportunities for our workforce.”
Don Hopper, Executive Director of the Calhoun County Economic Development Council
