Alkon Corporation

Alkon is a prominent manufacturer in North America, specializing in pneumatic and hydraulic components designed for both industrial and mobile markets. Our product range encompasses fittings, valves, cylinders, pumps, and lift jacks. Alkon was originally incorporated in 1953 as a pneumatic cylinder company in Hawthorne, NJ and later in Wayne, NJ. The company started manufacturing an air-power / hydraulic-controlled drill unit and later released a cylinder product line. The company name was derived from abbreviating the founder’s name, Al Konviser. Alkon introduced a pneumatic valve line in 1964, which was the A Series valve with a lapped spool design for industrial applications. This innovation was followed by the release of a flow control, needle and check valve line known as the J Series valves. These products were patented under US patents US3421547A and US3441249A.
