| Hayward Flow Control Systems, a division of Hayward Industries, Inc. has been manufacturing industrial thermoplastic valves and process control products since the inception of the thermoplastic valve industry. For more than 40 years we have remained committed to producing the highest quality products while providing outstanding service that exceeds customer expectations. Hayward has earned an unsurpassed reputation for product design, manufacturing precision, quality assurance, experience and know-how, and a total commitment to customer satisfaction and support. Hayward Industries was formed in 1923 by Irving M. Hayward. It was a small company, located in Brooklyn, NY, making specialty metal valves and industrial flow control products. When Mr. Hayward retired in 1964 the company was acquired by its present management. With that, a new period of growth and diversification began, one that continues to this day. Management realized an opportunity existed for plastic, rather than metal swimming pool filters and accessories, and diversified into the swimming pool market. Rapid growth in the pool business resulted in the creation of Hayward Pool Products, Inc. At the same time, through a combination of acquisitions, modernization of the manufacturing facilities and product innovations, the industrial plastic valve and pipeline strainer business grew as well - and became Hayward Flow Control Systems. | |
