What Xanik does

Xanik (legal entity: Xanor de México, S.A. de C.V.) is a Mexican specialty industrial valve manufacturer founded in 1983 and headquartered in Naucalpan, State of Mexico. The company designs and produces severe-service valves for high-pressure, high/low temperature, and corrosive applications — most notably HF Acid valves for refinery alkylation units (32+ years of specialized production), cryogenic valves down to -254°C compliant with MSS SP 134 and BS 6364, pressure seal valves, bolted bonnet valves, and special alloy valves using Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel, Incoloy, and Titanium. Manufacturing is centralized at the Naucalpan plant, with in-house non-destructive examination (NDE) capabilities including chemical analysis, metallography, hardness testing, ultrasonic testing, gammagraphy Ir 192, and helium spectrometer fugitive emissions testing.

The company sells directly through offices in Mexico (Naucalpan) and Houston, Texas, and through a global network of exclusive representatives and channel partners covering more than 40 countries across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Xanik holds approvals from major oil and gas end-users and technology licensors including PEMEX, UOP (Honeywell), ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, TOTAL, Phillips 66, and Shell, along with international certifications (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, API Q1, API 600, API 602, API 594, PED 97/23/EC / 2014/68/EU). Lead times are positioned as the shortest in the industry — standard 12-16 weeks, expedited 6-10 weeks, critical 1-4 weeks — with under-5-day freight from Mexico to the US.

Since July 2024, Xanik has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of OPW (a Dover Corporation company), within OPW Fluid Transfer Solutions' Chemical & Industrial Equipment business unit, following OPW's acquisition of Marshall Excelsior Company (MEC) — Xanik's prior owner since 2022. Revenue is generated primarily from hardware sales of valves and accessories, supplemented by field services (installation, maintenance, welding repairs, machining, mechanical upgrades, NDE, and plant start-up support). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Schlumberger (Cameron): Cameron (now part of SLB) manufactures valves and flow control equipment for upstream, midstream, and downstream oil & gas. Competes with Xanik's severe service offerings but serves a much broader customer base across the energy value chain.
• Emerson (Fisher Controls): Emerson's Fisher brand is a global leader in control valves, regulators, and severe service valves for the process industries. Competes with Xanik in refinery and petrochemical valve applications but offers a much broader portfolio.

Emerging players

• MOGAS Industries: US-based niche manufacturer of severe service isolation valves for power, mining, and petrochemical applications with specialized hardfacing technology. Comparable in severe-service niche focus though smaller scale than Xanik.
• Velan (Severe Service Valve brand DAS): Severe service valve specialists serving petrochemical, refining, and power markets. Compete in niche severe service applications but lack Xanik's HF alkylation licensing profile.
