Our Products
A gleaming petrochemical plant on a clear day, with silver tanks and chimneys, where isolation valves silently ensure safety and operational integrity.

Focussing on providing the best products for our key industries

Workers install a massive 60-ton IMI Z&J valve at an industrial site, requiring careful coordination and heavy equipment.

Petrochemical and refinery

To meet the harsh operational demands of the petrochemical industry, our expert engineers develop advanced technologies that improve performance and reduce long-term operating costs. We manufacture a range of inlet, outlet and isolation valves for the dehydrogenation process and high-performance isolation valves for ISOSIV / TIP units.


A reliable gate valve, enabling smooth and secure shut-off in iron and steel processing, safeguarding against leaks and ensuring operational safety.

Iron and steel

We have been designing and producing bespoke flow control technology for the iron and steel industry for over 100 years. The key products in our portfolio include hot blast valves able to withstand temperatures of 1650°C, shut-off, pressure and flow control valves, and intelligent solutions for blast furnaces such as the p-matriX 3D level measurement system.


Key Technologies

Wedge-within-wedge gate valves

Introduced to the market by IMI Z&J, we design wedge-within-wedge gate valves that deliver reliable, first-class performance in extreme operating conditions, characterised by high temperatures and pressures, line stresses and a high frequency of operation.
