Yale & Valor

Yale & Valor was a company in Birmingham that manufactured locks and gas fires.

In 1890, the Valor Company Ltd. was formed in Birmingham for manufacturing oil storage cabinets.

The company was bought by Williams Holdings in September 1991, and subsequently spun off with the other brands to form Newmond plc in August 1996.

The Valor brand is now owned in Europe by Baxi Group Ltd, (formed by the merger of Baxi Holdings Plc and Newmond plc)[1] and the Yale Lock Company is now a subsidiary of Assa Abloy.
