About Whipps: A Legacy of Fabricated Water Control Excellence
Whipps, Inc. was founded in 1977 with a clear mission: deliver engineered water control products that outperform traditional cast alternatives. Headquartered in Athol, Massachusetts, the company remains family-owned and fully dedicated to precision fabrication, corrosion resistance, and operational reliability.
Over the years, Whipps has become a trusted name in both municipal and industrial sectors, offering gates and valves custom-built to site-specific requirements.
