ARMATURY Group won a significant contract for the Romanian TRANSGAZ S.A. The value of this order exceeded 1 million EUR, and dispatching of the valves was divided into two parts: the first part took place in December last year and the last ball valves left the ARMATURY Group gate and headed to Romania this year. At this time all ball valves are successfully installed in the pipeline and are fully operational.

ARMATURY Group delivered 53 ball valves to Russia. One of the most important companies in Russia chose in the tender for the construction of condensate pipelines the Czech ball valves of the brand AG in the sizes DN 50 to DN 700. These 53 ball valves type K92, are mostly fully welded in underground design with stem extensions almost 6 meters long.

"Being an approved supplier of these three companies shows that ARMATURY Group has confirmed its ability to satisfy even the most demanding quality requirements. We are looking forward to working together on our future projects," said CEO Petr Groh.

ARMATURY Group has produced two gate valves DN 2000 for Labská strojní a stavební společnost. It is the largest size of the gate valves type S33.41 that the company has ever manufactured. The valves will serve as emergency closures in water works Labská near Špindlerova mlýna.

ARMATURY Group successfully completed the recertification audit by API (American Petroleum Institute) and extended the validity of the API Monogram for ball valves following API specification 6D until July 2021. As one of the few engineering companies in the Czech Republic, ARMATURY Group can supply its products for the petroleum industry with the API Monogram.

„The launch of the profile article, „Cover Story“ in the March issue of Valve World, is the culmination of a campaign that has been going on for three years and will continue,“ says Marketing Manager Vladimíra Václavíková.

ARMATURY Group has expanded its product portfolio with a new line of cryogenic ball valves. The development of these special valves, which can be exposed to temperatures up to -196°C, took less than three years. As part of the development task, the company introduced a new production and testing technology, successfully tested the new prototypes on the new cryogenic test equipment.
