Valor Company Ltd. was founded in Birmingham in 1890, initially producing oil storage cabinets for the Anglo-American Oil Company diversifying its production to portable oil heaters, which became very popular for heating homes and later gas heaters and fireplaces, as well as other items such as lawnmowers and fire extinguishers merged with Yale Lock Company in 1987, forming Yale & Valor and underwent a series of acquisitions and spin-offs until being purchased by Williams Holdings in 1991 and subsequently integrated into the Glen Dimplex Group.
