Care O Valve

What Care O Valve does

Care-O-Valve is a privately held, founder/family-owned industrial service company founded in 2009 in Colico, Italy, by mechanical engineer Davide Lisignoli. It provides worldwide 24/7 on-site valve and actuator maintenance, repair, testing, commissioning, start-up, installation, and training for onshore and offshore Oil & Gas, Power, and Marine operators and EPC contractors. The company is an authorized service partner for more than 13 major valve OEMs — including OMS Saleri, Perar, ATV, Dresser, Flowserve/Valbart, Cameron, Valvitalia, Della Foglia, Neway, Orion, Virgo, LCM, and RMT Valvolmeccanica — and holds ISO 9001, OPITO/HUET/EBS 5700 offshore safety, and API certifications. Its named customer base spans global majors (Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, BP, Shell, ExxonMobil, Total, ENI, Chevron, Petrobras, KNPC, INPEX, Woodside, ConocoPhillips) and EPC contractors (SAIPEM, Bechtel, Technip), with active projects across more than 30 countries on six continents.

The technology platform layers four interlocking service modules rather than a single product: (1) a 24/7 worldwide direct field-service network with OPITO/HUET-certified engineers and technicians; (2) a fixed in-region workshop — the EMDAD Valve Testing and Maintenance Workshop in Musaffah (M45), Abu Dhabi — a JV with EMDAD LLC established in January 2012, capable of full inspection, repair, testing, refurbishment, and machining for valves and actuators up to 52"; (3) deployable 20 ft and 40 ft mobile container workshops equipped with technicians, tools, and machining capability for remote and high-risk sites; and (4) a UAV-based close visual and thermal inspection service using an 8-motor sparkproof drone with dual HD visual and thermal imaging cameras for gas-leak and overheating anomaly detection. The UAE entity is jointly controlled through the EMDAD JV, while the Italian parent operates from HQ in Colico and an administrative office in Milan.

The business model is project- and contract-based professional services with no public pricing: revenue is generated through on-site field service engagements, workshop-based repair/refurbishment, mobile workshop deployments, UAV inspection surveys, and spare parts supply, all scoped per project and quoted on request. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with long-tenured relationships and an authorized-partner channel via OEM relationships. The company is privately held, founder/family-controlled, with no external investors, funding rounds, or institutional shareholders disclosed.
