Did you know that diaphragm valves were first used in Greece and Rome to control the temperature and flow of water into hot baths? The original diaphragms were made of leather and closed over a weir like design and were manually operated.
The modern diaphragm valve was adapted from this design by a mining engineer, P. K. Saunders, in the early 1900s for controlling air and water supply to underground mines. Patents for the design were filed in 1931 and the Hills McCanna Company became the first licensee to manufacture these valves. Shortly thereafter Grinell, Dow Chemical and Arco-Wynn also entered the market with their own diaphragm valves. The Arco-Wynn design was later licensed by the predecessor of Tru-Tech and thus the diaphragm valve design came to be manufactured in Pittsburgh!
Pittsburgh, PA – Today, Tru-Tech Valve, a Pittsburgh based Diaphragm valve manufacturer, appointed Chetan Chothani as their Chief Executive Officer.
Established in 1958, Tru-Tech is celebrating it’s 60th year as a manufacturer of Diaphragm Valves as one of the original licensee of the Arco-Wynn Diaphragm Valve design. Tru-Tech recently launched a new corporate logo and website as part of their push towards becoming a top supplier of diaphragm valves to various industries worldwide.
“We are fortunate to have someone of Chetan Chothani’s caliber and experience step up to lead Tru-Tech,” said Jeff Ruffing, Principal at Tru-Tech Valve. “We are at a critical moment in the evolution of our company and we need renewed leadership to successfully implement our strategy and take advantage of the market opportunities ahead. Chetan is an experienced operator with a proven track record of execution. He has strong leadership capabilities and is extremely focused on our core values of Quality and Customer service.”

In a time when manufacturing is moving overseas, Tru-Tech is committed to US manufacturing and delivering high quality Made-in-USA products! I look forward to executing the vision and building the brand.”
The appointment of Mr. Chetan Chothani as CEO, along with the new corporate logo and website, is part of Tru-Tech’s initiative to become a market leader in Diaphragm Valves worldwide.
