OVERVIEW

Setting the Global Standard for Valves

Velan pioneers advanced valve technologies that power the world’s most critical applications. Velan valves are inherently safe and environmentally responsible—even in the most demanding processes like heavy oils to hydrofluoric acid—because we deliberately design them that way.

With hundreds of patented solutions in our portfolio developed to handle complex media at extreme temperatures for many industrial sectors, such as nuclear power, mining, and the oil & gas industry, Velan drives innovation. Our unique intellectual property makes us the industry reference in harsh environments, sometimes being the only source of supply.
