Many Original Equipment Manufacturers and engineers find that standard options in valve designs are simply not offering the control or configuration their new idea or concept requires.
In these situations, the design and engineering team may not have a design for the valve they need, but they know what it will need to do or how it needs to work with the system. In these types of cases, turning to a specialized valve company for custom valve solutions is the best answer to a challenging problem.
When looking for a custom valve design and manufacturing company, there are three critical factors to keep in mind. By reviewing the company in these three areas, it is possible to find the right valve manufacturer to partner with for this project as well as future projects.
Extensive Industry Experience and Expertise
When looking for a company to help with custom valve solutions, take a close look at the years in the industry as well as the client base. The more diverse the client base, the more expertise and experience the valve company can bring to the table in both design and manufacturing.
In-house Design and Manufacturing Services
Some companies may outsource some of the elements in the design and manufacturing of custom valves. Ideally, look for a company with a complete in-house capacity for the design and all aspects of the manufacturing process. This is true for both metal and plastic valves as this allows for the highest level of quality control throughout the process.
Emphasis on Creative Solutions
Finally, if you need custom valve solutions, you need a company with the ability to think outside of the box. This is also an area where extensive experience and working with a variety of OEMs in different industries is a significant benefit. These companies are very likely to have experience with a similar custom valve requirement, which can speed up both design and production on your custom valve.
