The vision of a Family,
the reality of a Global Group

Our italian headquarters traces its entrepreneurial roots back to 1828, with a history marked by the culture of improvement, innovative leadership and manufacturing excellence. Since we started manufacturing valves in 1954, our international growth has not changed the human spirit and the original values.
