About Ross Controls

Ross Controls is an American company founded in 1921 by an engineer Charles A. Ross and five other accomplices. An impulse or actually a spark (literally) to establish a business (then called the “Ross Operating Valve Company”) was the fire that engulfed the factory of The Detroit Seamless Steel Tube Company in 1917, whose employee was Charles A. Ross. At that time employed as an engineer, he worked on the process of puncturing during the production of seamless tubes, of which air valves were an important part. These valves, imported from Germany, were burned in the fire, and the German economy, devastated after World War I, was not able to deliver on time the new valves. This situation prompted Charles A. Ross to develop and produce his own, manually controlled air valve, which enabled the continuation of production. The first versions of the valve used the parts adapted for Chevrolet engines, such as pushers, handles, and springs. What is interesting, a modernized version of this valve is still manufactured today. Over the years, Ross Controls has been continuously developing and expanding its product range. At the moment, apart from the United States, the company has its branches and offices in Canada, Brazil, UK, Germany, France, Japan, China, and India, as well as 145 distributors worldwide. The assortment of Ross Controls products has earned the company recognition in many areas and is used, among others, in the glass industry, aluminum and steel production, steel molding, automotive industry, packaging production and many others. DECCO Company offering industrial electromagnets and remote controls for pneumatic valves operates within the group of Ross Controls.
