Crane Innovation

"You can't run a railroad or build a dam, operate a paper mill or lay a sewer, dig an oil well or heat a hospital, or launch a battleship or even take a shower without using one of the more than 40,000-odd products that are made by Crane Co."

The observation in the July 1936 issue of Fortune magazine summed up our company's position well, and within ten years of that article, aviation and high speed flight were added to the list. Today, Crane innovation can be found behind the scenes virtually everywhere, helping everyday life run efficiently. R.T. Crane was a ahead of his time, founding our business in 1855 with the strictest honesty and fairness, and with a performance culture based on trust and respect - primary innovations that continue to guide the great people of Crane today, 150 years later - as we work together to build a better Crane Co.
