In-House Application Engineering
Our staff engineers size, select, and material-match severe-service and cryogenic valves in-house — done right the first time.
Three decades of severe-service valve expertise — from a Birmingham family business to a top-tier supplier for the world's most demanding industries.
Miller Valve & Controls was founded in 1993 by Wayne and Lawton Miller in Birmingham, Alabama — two men who saw an opportunity to do something different than the standard catalog-distribution playbook. Instead of just shipping parts, they built a company around solving problems: spec'ing the right valve for the right application, the first time.
That engineering-first mindset is still the foundation of everything we do. Three decades later, we're a privately owned, family-run team of engineers, technicians, and customer-service professionals who treat your project like it's our own — because for many of our long-term clients, it has been for years.
From a small Birmingham office to a trusted partner for aerospace, energy, chemical, and oil & gas leaders across North America, our story has always been about one thing: showing up with answers.
Three decades in, our values are the same as the day we opened. They show up in every quote, every spec discussion, and every shipment.

From a small Birmingham office to a recognized leader in severe-service valve solutions — a quick look at the moments that shaped who we are.
Wayne and Lawton Miller open Miller Valve & Controls in Birmingham, Alabama with one mission: bring real engineering expertise back to industrial valve distribution.
Expanded vendor relationships with leading manufacturers of severe-service ball, knife gate, cryogenic, and Teflon-lined valves — establishing Miller Valve as a go-to source for the toughest applications.
Deepened expertise in cryogenic services, bellow-sealed globe valves, and high-pressure metal-seated ball valves — supporting LNG, chemical, and aerospace customers across the Gulf Coast and beyond.
16+ vendor partnerships, 8 industries served, and a privately held, family-run team that's still showing up with answers — the same way Wayne and Lawton intended in 1993.
Birmingham was built by ironworkers, steelworkers, and engineers — the kind of people who knew a job worth doing was a job worth doing right. That heritage is in our DNA.
We've been a Birmingham business since day one, and we believe a strong community makes for a strong company. That's why we proudly support local nonprofits like the United Way of Central Alabama and The Exceptional Foundation — investing in the people and place that have invested in us for over 30 years.
