130 years ago, a group of dedicated craftspeople made a promise — to build products that last, and to serve the people who depend on them.

This is M.B. John Pty. Ltd. in its early days. Brass founders. Problem solvers. And at the heart of it all — customers who trusted us with work that mattered.

That trust is something we've never taken for granted. It's why we're still here, still building, and still holding ourselves to the same standard the people in this photo set over a century ago.

Here's to 130 years — and to every customer, partner, and team member who made it possible.

🤝 One team. One mission. 130 years of trust.

This week, our national sales team came together in Ballarat for a full sales catch-up — sharing knowledge, sharpening skills, and reconnecting with what drives us every day: delivering the right valve solution for every customer, every time.

From refresher sessions to deep dives into our product range, conversations kept coming back to the same thing — our customers deserve a team that knows their industry inside and out. That's the standard we hold ourselves to.

As we celebrate 130 years of John Valves and Australian manufacturing, moments like these remind us that the relationships we build — with each other and with you — are what make John Valves more than just a supplier. We're a long-term partner you can count on.

Here's to the next chapter.

Australian mining. Gas. Water. Steam. Oil. Food and beverage.

For 130 years, John Valves has been part of the infrastructure that keeps these industries running. That's not something one company builds alone — it's built through the trust of the people who specify, procure, and operate alongside us.

To everyone who has been part of that: thank you.

As demand grows, so does our response: this Okuma Vertical Machining Centre installation is a capacity and quality play.This enables finer surface finishes and closer dimensional control. The result for customers is better first-pass quality and reduced need for corrective work.
