  2. Valve World Recap
Many of the pipe, valve and fitting industry's top professionals were in Maastricht, Netherlands in November for the Valve World 2002 Conference and Expo. As a headline sponsor of the show, Velan was intimately involved in most areas of the event, with several speakers from Velan presenting on such topics as the future of the industry, valve reliability, actuation and control, and valve application and selection. Photos and speeches, including President and CEO A.K. Velan's keynote speech—also appearing in this month's issue of Valve World Magazine—are now available online.

  3. Velan Awarded TUV PED Approval
Although Velan was among the first North American valve manufacturers to be awarded PED approval from Bureau Veritas, which was meant to harmonize technical requirements for pressure vessels within the EU, Germany has additional, stringent regulations. Velan Portugal, Velan's Portuguese division, has now earned PED approval from TUV, a necessity for supplying cast steel valves to the demanding German market.
