1. Introducing the Power Ball Valve
Actuated Power Ball ValveVelan is proud to introduce the new Power Ball Valve, a high pressure/high temperature metal-seated ball valve of rugged, one-piece construction, designed for power and process applications that require reliable, long-lasting performance. This valve's patented design incorporates a combination of innovative and proven design features in order to provide superior service in vent, drain, blow-off, blowdown, reheat and instrument applications, to name a few. The Power Ball Valve is in full production, with several key orders won already.

  2. Velan Acquires Plenty Steam Traps
Velan is pleased to announce a reentry into the steam trap market with the acquisition of Plenty Steam Products, based in Leicester, England. Velan started manufacturing bi-metallic steam traps, patented by founder and CEO A.K. Velan, in 1950, before selling the business to Plenty in 1987 to focus on the growing demand for our valves. Now Velan has reacquired the product line to complement our strong offering of products for power, petrochemical, refining and general process industries. These high quality, reliable, yet competitively priced products, will be marketed worldwide by Velan Valves Ltd, England.

After a careful review of each other's capabilities, products and overall strength, Velan and McJunkin forged a partnership that will bring a unique value proposition to the market for industrial valves.
