Valtek Sulamericana control valves
August 2010
Valves, Actuators & Pump Control
Penetrating the South African market is one of the priorities for Valtek Sulamericana, hence the distributor agreement with Teriskano Engineering Solutions, a Black Empowered Level 3 Company with accumulated expertise in the instrumentation field in South Africa.
Reportedly, process safety incidents cost the petrochemical industry in the US about $20 billion per year. Valtek has always been concerned about safety, security and the environment and the way its control valves help to keep plant operators and the environment safe from hazardous air pollutants or toxic process fluids. In applications with stringent fugitive emission requirements, Valtek can provide valve solutions to the process control industry. Fine finishes on the bonnet bores and the plug stem improve sealing and reduce stem shaft friction for longer packing life. This highly reliable packing system is also available for fire-safe designs used where volatile fluids are present.
“Our products are high technology with many unique features. We believe one of our competitive advantages is that we are focused only on manufacturing control valves. This is our core business and one that requires experience and expertise in both product and in special manufacturing. We deliver value through technology.
We have a complete line of products from control valves for simple applications to products for special and very severe applications.
We believe we can succeed in the South African market with Teriskano driving our success through its service and support,” said Valtek Sulamericana VP, Sérgio Camillo.
