Established in 1666, Stafsjö is one of the oldest companies operating in Sweden. Production commenced with the manufacture of cannons for the Swedish armed forces and remained the core business activity for two centuries. In 1881, the production of valves started and in 1928, the first knife gate valve was produced for the paper and pulp industry in the region.
In recent years, Stafsjö has invested over €5 million in order to expand its production. Within four years the annual turnover should be €20 million annually. This goal will be attained with new products, within new market sectors and in new countries, whilst simultaneously strengthening the position in existing markets with the existing range of products.
Together with its customers, the Stafsjö team work to understand the demands placed, not only on today’s processes, but also those of tomorrow. By ensuring that Stafsjö valves are in stock around the globe, the company operates as a fast and flexible supplier of high performance knife gate valves for complex processes. Stafsjö is a well-known name amongst major players within pulp and paper, mining, power generation and water treatment. More than 1 million Stafsjö valves have been installed around the world and 86% of production is exported.
Stafsjö has seen significant growth in the USA, Australia, South Africa and South East Asia, the latter primarily driven by Indonesia. An initiative made in the mining industry in Mexico has also been successful. It has a product portfolio covering a broad range of knife gate valves and extensive experience of high performance shut-off valves with superior flow characteristics enables the development team to push this technology still further.
