KZCO
KZCO began in 1976 with only one product, but it was a good one: the dependable Hydra-Halt. Originally called KZ Company, the Hydra-Halt was invented in 1975 by 2 brothers, Keith and Kevin Ziegenbein, to use in their own family farm business. The Hydra-Halt was an instant success, replacing manual valves on fertilizer applicators with new hydraulic remote control. Despite this, the customers preferred to have an electric valve. All existing electric valves in the Ag market were solenoid type, and were not dependable. A ball valve was the key, and it had to be motorized. KZCO was the first in the industry to bring the economical motorized ball valve concept to market. The Electra-Halt was introduced in 1982 after 4 years of patient testing. Over the next decade, KZCO introduced a wide variety of other Ag and Industrial products. In 1992 the EH2 was introduced, and the old Electra-Halt product line expanded into the thousands of new valve types, sizes, motors and wiring options. In 1997, the EH3 and QC3 valves were added, bringing the mathematical combination of available valves into the millions. Since 1997, KZCO has continued to expand its product line with the QX4 and the 89 series valves in 1999, and new controllers including the Tri-Lite and Dial-a-Matic in 2000.
KZCO uses the engineering philosophy of "form follows function, and price follows quality," but price is important, so the product is designed down to its' simplest form to achieve the highest quality required. You can rest assured that KZCO will continue to produce innovative, high quality products for agriculture and industry well into the future.
