KZValve, located in Greenwood, Nebraska was acquired by IDEX in 2021, bringing innovative valve actuation solutions to the Agriculture portfolio. Founded in 1976, two brothers created a business founded on single product, Hydra-Halt. The economical, automated valve used in fertilizer application was the result of the owner experiencing an ammonia spill while side dressing his corn field. Over the next forty years, KZValve built a broad product portfolio of automated valves with safety and modernization being paramount.
Banjo Corporation and KZValve are a Unit of IDEX Corporation. IDEX (NYSE: IEX) is a company that has undoubtedly touched your life in some way. In fact, we make thousands of products that are mission critical components in everyday activities.
