Our History

In 2020, Valence Industrial brought together JR Buck Industries (Lexington, KY) and HB Products (Sidney, OH) — two family-owned companies with a shared commitment to transforming concepts into reality through engineering expertise. This merger combined their strengths to deliver precise, cutting-edge manufacturing solutions tailored to complex industry needs.

Valence Industrial is owned by Blue Skies Operating Corp., operated by CEO Chuck Pisciotta. Blue Skies was built on the belief in the strength of Midwestern workers and homegrown engineering talent, with a vision to unite forward-thinking investors and entrepreneurs to scale well-run companies.

Along with Valence Industrial, Blue Skies also owns TruRebel, a manufacturer of self-propelled vault trailers, dump trailers, and crane trailers.
