Dennis Nakakita

What Dennis Nakakita does

Dennis Nakakita, S.A. is a Spanish industrial manufacturer founded in 1973 as a joint venture between Japanese partners (Nakakita Seisakusho Co., Ltd and Nissho Iwai Co., Ltd) and Spanish shareholders, with technical support from the Japanese parent. The company designs and manufactures butterfly valves (concentric and eccentric designs in sizes DN32 to DN1200), actuators (manual, pneumatic, and hydraulic), and complete Remote Control Systems (RCS) integrating Hydraulic Power Units and Solenoid Racks. Its products serve mission-critical applications across Oil & Gas (FPSOs, drilling vessels, refineries, petrochemical plants), Marine and Shipbuilding (tankers, LNG carriers, dredgers), Navy and Military (submarines, support vessels), Energy (nuclear and hydroelectric), and Water (treatment, desalination, irrigation) markets.

The company is headquartered in Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid) with its main production facility in Alcázar de San Juan (Ciudad Real), and maintains a global commercial network with offices across Asia, Europe, and the USA, plus active projects in South America and Africa. Its technical differentiation rests on over 50 years of engineering heritage, in-house R&D using SolidWorks/AutoCAD/ANSYS, and multi-society Type Approvals (ABS, Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's Register, DNV) plus ISO 9001 and CE certifications that enable participation in regulated marine and offshore tenders.

Dennis Nakakita operates a direct enterprise field-sales model, selling engineered hardware on a project-by-project quotation basis to EPC contractors, shipyards, and industrial operators worldwide. The company provides both complete and partial system solutions encompassing design, manufacturing, supply, and commissioning, with accessory compatibility for major electric actuator brands (Rotork, Limitorque, AUMA, Siemens, Bernard, A.E.G., Centork). The company remains privately held with 11-50 employees, no public revenue disclosure, and no recorded external funding.

Core offering

DENNIS NAKAKITA designs and manufactures butterfly valves (concentric and eccentric), actuators (manual, pneumatic, and hydraulic), and remote control systems for industrial applications. The company provides both complete and partial system solutions including design, manufacturing, supply, and commissioning to international Oil & Gas, Marine & Shipbuilding, Navy, Energy, and Water markets since 1973.

Product overview

Dennis Nakakita is a Spanish manufacturer of industrial butterfly valves, actuators, and remote control systems established in 1973. The product portfolio centers on Concentric and Eccentric butterfly valves as the core products, available in three actuation types: Manual (CBT-1200H, AC, CBT-1218), Pneumatic (ACBT-3294), and Hydraulic (PCBT-3200). The Remote Control System (RCS) provides centralized valve control through Hydraulic Power Units (HPU) and Solenoid Racks. Specialized variants include High Performance valves for demanding conditions, Control Valves for process applications, and Interlocked valves for security applications. The PCBT-3200-LPU Local Power Unit enables electro-hydraulic remote operation without hydraulic piping. Accessories include signaling/position indicators, emergency manual actuators, and hand pumps for emergency operation. The company serves Oil & Gas, Marine, Navy, Energy, and Water markets globally.
