Technology & Products
Key Products
Ball valves (trunnion, floating, top entry, cryogenic); Gate valves (slab, expanding); Check valves; Hydrogen valves; Subsea valves (API 17D); AM-optimized hydraulic manifolds; Custom oil & gas valve components; 3D printed polymer and metal valve parts; Powder atomization (forthcoming laboratory-scale VIGA+Plasma system)
Technological Advantage
In-house additive manufacturing (2 metal L-PBF systems, 5 polymer printers) integrated with traditional valve manufacturing; DNV ST B203 certification for AM 316L; API 6A/6D/6DSS/17D certifications; ability to produce certified AM parts for Oil & Gas; 61.7% weight reduction and 75% lead time reduction demonstrated on hydraulic manifold components; European R&D projects participation (3DOP, ToZero).
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Design and manufacture of high-quality, tailor-made industrial valves for severe service applications, with in-house additive manufacturing capabilities enabling rapid customization, reduced lead times (from 2-3 months to 3 weeks), and weight reduction (up to 61.7%).
How They Differentiate
Mid-sized family-owned company with exceptional flexibility for custom/specialty valve production that larger competitors often avoid; fully in-house AM integration since 2016; certified AM parts for Oil & Gas (DNV ST B203); focus on non-standard complex valves as core business rather than supplement.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Oil & Gas exploration and production companies, subsea operators, energy industry, hydrogen sector, and increasingly automotive, aerospace, and nuclear industries.
Industry Verticals
Oil & Gas (exploration, production, subsea, transmission); Energy; Hydrogen; Automotive; Aerospace; Nuclear; Industrial design
Competitors
Aidro (Italy, 3D-printed hydraulic components for Oil & Gas); Baker Hughes (large multinational with AM division for valve components); Cameron/SLB (Oil & Gas equipment with AM capabilities)
