DK-LOK

What DK-LOK does

DK-LOK Austria GmbH is a privately held Austrian industrial distributor (GmbH) headquartered in Hornstein, founded in 1980 and registered with Landesgericht Eisenstadt. The company operates as a general representative (Generalvertreter) for DK-LOK Corporation and other manufacturers in the industrial instrumentation (IPD) sector, supplying fittings and valves for fluid and gas handling systems to the chemical, petrochemical, semiconductor, gas, measurement and control, R&D, and plant engineering industries. The company claims that most well-known industrial firms in Austria are among its customers, though no specific customer logos are disclosed.

The product portfolio is organized into three sub-brands: DK-LOK Fittings (compression ring screw fittings available in stainless steel, brass, steel, Hastelloy, or PTFE, with a double compression ring design requiring less assembly force), Green Fittings (threaded fittings and adapters in brass and stainless steel, with custom adapter manufacturing available), and D-Pro Valves (a comprehensive valve line including V81 ball valves rated to 137 bar / 2000 psi, VM/V15/V16/V13W needle valves, check valves with NBR/FKM/EPDM/Kalrez sealing, V63/V64/V66 safety valves certified under PED 97/23/EC Module B+D, and V73/V76 filters with sintered metal inserts from 0.5μm to 90μm). The technical differentiator is application-grade performance across multiple media, with proprietary assembly characteristics and certified safety ratings for regulated applications.

Revenue is generated through one-time direct sales of industrial fittings and valves, with pricing handled on a quote (not public) basis. The company maintains a minimal digital presence — its primary channels are a basic corporate website (dklok.at) and a LinkedIn profile hosted under the related-name Parcom Ventile & Fittings GmbH. No revenue, headcount, app, API, patents, funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes are disclosed in the available data. The company operates as a single-region (Austria) distributor with regional direct sales motion.
