Lined Valve Company Celebrates 20 Years

Jeff Bowman P.E., a 41-year veteran engineer of the valves industry, established Lined Valve Company (LVC) in 1995, originally operating out of Beaverton, Oregon. Since then, LVC has outgrown two buildings until reaching its current location in Woodland, Washington, and opened a second manufacturing facility in Ocala, Florida, to serve customers on the East Coast. In 1999, Bowman puchased A-C Valve, finally merging the two companies, with A-C Valve doing business as a DBA of LVC.Throughout these past 20 years, Bowman has witnessed many changes. When LVC started manufacturing in the first year, there were two employees and two products. Today, there are 36 employees and
