Velan is one of the world's leading manufacturers of industrial steel valves, supplying gate,globe, check, ball, butterfly and knife gate valves for critical applications in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, fossil and nuclear power, cogeneration, pulp and paper and cryogenic industries. See the back cover of this catalog for a summary of the many quality products that Velan designs and manufactures.Founded in 1950, Velan earned a reputation for excellence as a major supplier of forgedvalves for nuclear power plants and the U.S. Navy. Velan Inc. pioneered many designs which became industry standards, including bellows seal valves, all stainless steel knife gate valves and forged valves up to 24".Velan valves are manufactured in 12 specialized manufac-turing plants, including five in Canada & U.S.A., four in Europeand three in Asia. We have over 1,600 employees, 75% of whom are located in our North American operations.A considerable leap forward in Velan technology was theintroduction of forgings for valves larger than 2” (50 mm), and up to 24” (600 mm), for higher safety applications. Velan forged valves offer greater strength and increasedtoughness for maximum reliability and safety. They have becomethe first choice of fossil and nuclear power stations, the navyand for all severe and critical applications in the chemical and hydrocarbon processing industries.
