What Tecval does

Tecval S.A.S. is a Colombian industrial valve manufacturer and fluid management solutions provider founded in 1986 and headquartered in Bogotá, with additional operations in Cali and Barranquilla. The company manufactures a proprietary portfolio of safety valves, modulating control valves (TCV series), and a full line of hydraulic control valves (VRLP, VAGA, VCD, VCA, VFP, VAP, VRC, VSP, VS), alongside direct-acting and pilot-operated pressure regulators (series 810, 820, 850), boiler purge valves, blanketing regulators, silencers, and test benches. Tecval also represents international brands including LESER (Compact Performance safety valves), KITO (emergency vents and flame arresters), REMBE (rupture discs), and severe-service control valve lines. Underlying technology centers on mechanical and hydraulic fluid control engineering, with TECVALSCAN offering computerized valve verification and diagnostics.

The business model combines one-time product sales (manufactured and represented valves) with professional service revenue streams: NBBI-certified VR (Valve Repair) and T/O (Test Only) safety valve services, ONAC ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration, TECVALSCAN computerized verification, maintenance and remanufacturing, and technical training and consulting. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, consistent with project-driven B2B industrial sales. The go-to-market is direct sales-led through a commercial team reachable via phone and email, supported by three physical offices and a logistics/stock center in Barranquilla.

Tecval serves six primary verticals: oil and gas (Ecopetrol, TGI, CPF Cupiagua), thermoelectric power generation (Emgesa, EGEMSA), food and beverage (Bavaria, Manuelita, Ingenio Providencia), chemical and pharmaceutical (Unilever, Ajover, Haceb), water works and utilities (EPM, Aguas de la Sabana), and pulp and paper. The company holds multiple international certifications (NBBI VR/T/O valid until February 2028, ONAC ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ASME UV stamp, CRN, ISO 9001/14001/45001) and is the first company in Colombia to obtain NBBI VR and T/O certifications. It is privately held with no disclosed external investors, operating under Colombian S.A.S. corporate structure.
