Clarke Industrial Engineering, a manufacturer of industrial valves, recently completed its 3rd round of venture funding bringing the total raised to USD $3.7 million. By applying aerospace-inspired design concepts to the field of flow control, Clarke develops premium industrial valves to power the world’s best companies.
Mark Kacer, Clarke’s CFO/COO, stated, “This enables us to fund volume production of our 1”, 2” and 4” Shutter Valves for our lead customers who represent billions of dollars of industrial revenue. As demand for our products continues to grow, the cost efficiencies realized from these volume builds directly result in competitive pricing for Clarke’s premium products.”
“We also further enhanced our management team with the addition of Jeff Buck, a seasoned executive with world class experience in engineering and production,” added Kacer. “As the former CEO of a leading custom manufacturing company with four facilities in New England, Buck not only brings world class supply chain management skills to Clarke but also provides additional strategic perspective that will help Clarke accelerate its success. Furthermore, we recently recruited Chad Heffernan as our Manager of Sales & Marketing reporting to Kyle Benson, VP of Sales & Marketing. Heffernan brings Clarke over twenty years of high level, strategic sales and marketing experience.”
