E-business. It’s moving quickly from buzzword to reality. It’s a revolution that is here, dramatically changing the
way business is done everyday. And now, in the flow control industry, it’s a change summed up in one word: eNIBCO.
For nearly a century, NIBCO has offered an unsurpassed line of quality,

cost-efficient flow control products. NIBCO's plastic and metal fittings, valves and
actuators, and its Chemtrol® line of industrial plastics, are used in residential,
commercial and industrial applications worldwide. NIBCO’s breadth of product
has kept us a leader with global reach.
NIBCO has always taken pride in providing things other companies can't.
Recognizing opportunities before others did. And with eNIBCO, we are doing
just that. eNIBCO isn't a passing fad. It's the way business needs to be done —
today. It's a way of shortening the distance between NIBCO and our customers.
A platform to provide better product and stronger service. It's real. It's now. It's the
