Jane Clack
OwnerWith roots dating back to 1975, Jane’s journey in the valve industry began with a role in inside sales for ball valves and actuation at a regional valve Sales office. Despite the prevailing norms of the time where women were a rarity in the valve business, she embraced the challenge and forged her path. In 1991, Jane founded GAVC, and since then, she has been committed to providing personalized service and expertise to our customers. What keeps her motivated is the thrill of tackling each quote request, tailoring solutions to meet the customers' needs, and ultimately seeing tangible results in the form of orders.
At GAVC, we pride ourselves on maintaining a personal touch with our customers, whether through phone calls, emails, or face-to-face interactions. In an era where e-commerce dominates, we believe in the power of direct communication and the assurance it brings to our clientele, setting us apart from competitors.

Our customers also contribute to the unique appeal of GAVC, as they embody a refreshing respect and understanding seldom found elsewhere. Here, there's no room for demanding attitudes or entitled behavior; instead, we foster a culture of mutual respect and appreciation.
