Since 1937

Nearly Nine Decades in Pipe, Valves, and Fittings

 

Merit Brass was founded in 1937 and has spent nearly nine decades earning its place as a manufacturer and master distributor in the PVF industry. The company has operated from this Cleveland headquarters since 1989, investing in the plant, the master distribution floor, and the people who run them. That continuity is not a date on a page. It is the reason distributors can count on consistent product, stocked inventory, and a customer service team that knows the industry, and it reflects the drive and dedication that have kept Merit moving forward for nearly 90 years.
