Shan-Rod, Inc.

Shan-Rod, Inc was established by Mr.Shannon & Mr.Rodwancy in 1969 for the purpose of developing low pressure/high temperature dampers for the glass, steel and petro-chemical industries. The dampers were marketed via independent sales representatives. Design, manufacturing & testing was done at Shan-Rod’s existing facility in Berlin Heights, Ohio.<br />
<br />
In 1973, David Hatala was hired as the plant manager and went on to become vice president of the company. He acquired Shan-Rod, Inc. in 1987. Today, ownership rests with David Hatala and key employees.<br />

At Shan-Rod, we utilize modern technologies and techniques to engineer and manufacture our dampers and valves to meet the toughest design conditions. In addition to the valve design, we select and recommend the best materials available to meet those conditions.<br />
