ABOUT BI-TORQ VALVE AUTOMATION

Since our inception in 1995, the BI-TORQ Actuator and Automation Package division has seen a tremendous expansion of our operations. William Jackson, the managing director of AVK Carbo-Bond, had long seen the need to provide our many loyal customers with options to complete their valve automation packages. After bringing in General Manager David Marut and starting with the introduction of our BI-TORQ rack and pinion actuator in 1995, we now are proud to include the BI-TORQ InstruPak, a direct mount automated valve package that includes both brass and stainless steel valves. We also offer cost-effective butterfly valves, electric actuators, limit switches, proximity switches, positioners and gear operators. Along with the unlimited number of customized mounting kits, tee linkages and extensions we manufacture through our parent company, we are proud to call ourselves a true single source supplier that can make your job easier.

ABOUT AVK CARBO-BOND, INC.

AVK Carbo-Bond has provided full service engineering and manufacturing of customized automated valve kits since 1981. Since the beginning we have received praise within the industry for our service and ingenuity. In addition to our customized brackets and couplers, we also manufacture positioner and limit switch brackets, three-way tee-linkage packages, stem extensions, protection for buried service situations, chain handles, locking kits, fusible link assemblies and a variety of other valve automation accessories. Our engineering staff has experience with virtually every automated valve component available in the industry today and has a broad catalog of AUTOCAD drawings at their disposal.

We have come a long way since our early days as an abrasive company specializing in white wall tires. Although we retained the name "Carbo-Bond," we added the "AVK" in 1981 to represent our shift to the "automated valve kit" business. We became a pioneer in manufacturing mounting kits that would link different manufacturers' valves to a variety of actuators, gears and switches. In many ways, AVK Carbo-Bond helped to change the face of the valve industry thanks to our ingenuity and willingness to do anything it takes to satisfy our customer base. This is a tradition that we retain today as a family-owned company based on a desire to achieve total customer satisfaction. 
In February of 2003, our new 10,000 square foot facility was completed. While our manufacturing remained in our old building (behind), all of BI-TORQ's office space and warehousing was moved to the new facility. Continued growth of our business may result in additional expansion.
