NIBCO: Forging Quality, Community, and Purpose for Over a Century

Here, every associate doesn’t just work—they belong, driving a shared purpose that reaches far beyond their products to uplift communities and create lasting impact.
A Tradition of Values, A Future of Empowerment
NIBCO’s legacy is built on values that endure: Safety, Integrity, Teamwork, Continuous Improvement, and Philanthropy. These are more than principles; they are actions embodied daily by each of NIBCO’s 3,000 employee-owners. This commitment to excellence and care extends into communities through impactful partnerships. Driven by the belief that “the best product of NIBCO is a good person,” this culture fosters an environment where employees feel ownership in every sense—of their work, their growth, and their company. Join us in exploring how NIBCO sets a gold standard for what it means to be a force for good in American manufacturing, empowering people to achieve and inspiring future generations to flourish.
