Power

We design and manufacture highly reliable, fast-stroking actuators that are widely recognised for their excellent performance in the highly demanding power sector. You will find our actuation solutions on turbine bypass systems, steam damper heating, traditional and nuclear boiler level control, pump recirculation, emergency shutdown, line isolation and dampers for fans.


Offshore platforms extract and process oil and gas from offshore reserves. They require technical expertise and hard work in drilling, production, and maintenance. The operation process involves manual and auto functions controlled from a central control room

Oil and gas

Smaller and increasingly more remote oil and gas resources have led to the growing demand for equipment able to operate effectively in harsher process conditions. We design robust solutions that improve safety and plant performance while meeting those tough environmental standards, providing best-in-class anti-surge, choke valves, gas-to-flare and dampers for fans.


The spherical gas reservoir relies on high-performance actuators to control gas flow, enabling efficient storage and processing of LPG/LNG at the refinery.

Liquid natural gas

The use of Liquid Natural Gas has grown exponentially in recent years, and we play a key role in most aspects of the process including gas production, transmission, liquefication, shipping, regasification, storage and distribution. More than 90% of the compressor anti-surge valves in operation in LNG plants globally have been fitted with our high-quality actuation control solutions.


Key Technologies

Linear actuators

Valve piston and damper actuators are one of our key technology solutions and we develop and manufacture them for use on flow control devices such as dampers, louvers, butterfly and ball valves.
