Valland SpA

What Valland SpA does

Valland SpA is an Italian industrial valve manufacturer founded in 2006 by industry veterans with more than 30 years of severe-service valve experience, headquartered in Piantedo (Sondrio province), Italy. The company designs and assembles tailor-made Ball, Gate and Check Valves for Oil & Gas exploration, production, subsea, and transmission applications, plus a dedicated product line for the emerging hydrogen value chain. It also produces cryogenic ball valves rated down to -196°C, short-pattern / annulus / mechanical special-design valves, and supports customers with in-house engineering services including Finite Element Analysis on ANSYS, SIL/SAR analyses, special testing (cryogenic, fire safe, fugitive emission, endurance, PR2), custom in-line maintenance tools, and a growing additive manufacturing capability spanning metallic and polymeric processes. The firm outsources all machining to a network of Italian sub-suppliers while retaining design, assembly, and testing in-house, which keeps the cost base flexible and supports a "Fast Track Delivery" service for emergency shutdowns. Valland generates revenue through project-based, quote-priced custom orders sold directly to enterprise Oil & Gas end users and hydrogen customers, supported by a China representative office in Shanghai and regional service/channel partners in Norway (IKM Flux AS), the UAE (Fitech LLC) and Italy (Covatek). Certifications (API 6A, 6D, 6DSS, SIL L2/L3, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, PED 2014/68/UE, TSG, ACHILLES, Italian Legality Rating) underpin its access to severe-service and subsea tenders, and the firm is a co-founder of the VALVEcampus association that organizes the IVS Industrial Valve Summit. Funding to date has been entirely non-dilutive, comprising three Regione Lombardia grants (2019 INNODRIVER-S3, 2022 Bando Fiere, 2022 Bando Tech Fast) channeled into the 3D Valve and VALHALLA hydrogen/additive manufacturing programs.

Revenue model

1. Industrial Valve Manufacturing and Sales: Valland generates revenue through the design, manufacture, and sale of high-quality, tailor-made Ball, Gate, and Check Valves. The company operates on a project-based, custom order basis for Oil & Gas end users, hydrogen value chain customers, and special service industrial applications. Revenue is derived from one-time product sales based on customer specifications, with no internal machining shop—all machining is outsourced to a network of local sub-suppliers while maintaining control over design, assembly, and testing.
2. Additive Manufacturing Services: Valland provides additive manufacturing services for components used in Oil and Gas valves as well as new applications in the broader Energy and Design world. The company is also developing capabilities to produce raw materials (powder for additive manufacturing) from traditional manufacturing scraps and by-products.

Core offering

Valland SpA designs and manufactures tailor-made Ball, Gate, and Check Valves for Oil & Gas and Hydrogen applications, including subsea, cryogenic, and severe-service variants. The company outsources machining to a network of Italian sub-suppliers while retaining in-house design, FEA-based validation (using ANSYS), assembly, special testing, additive manufacturing R&D, and quality control. Beyond valves, Valland provides Fast Track Delivery for emergency shutdowns and hydrogen-specific flow control solutions including circular-by-design gaskets and valves.

Product overview

Valland SpA is an Italian manufacturer of high quality, tailor-made industrial valves serving the Oil & Gas and Hydrogen sectors. The product portfolio centers on three core valve types: Ball Valves (Trunnion, Floating, and Top Entry designs), Gate Valves (Slab, Double Expanding, Single Expanding, and Parallel Slab configurations), and Check Valves. A specialized Cryogenic Ball Valve line handles extreme low-temperature applications down to -196°C. For the emerging hydrogen economy, Valland offers dedicated hydrogen-compatible Ball Valves and Gate Valves designed for hydrogen service environments. Beyond standard products, Valland provides custom Special Design valves for unique customer specifications, Fast Track Delivery for urgent shutdown needs, and R&D services including in-house Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using ANSYS, Special Testing (Cryogenic, Fire Safe, Fugitive Emission, Endurance, PR2), and Additive Manufacturing capabilities using metallic and polymeric technologies.
