Covna

What Covna does

Covna is a privately held Chinese industrial valve manufacturer founded in 2000 and headquartered at No. 26 Hantang Street, Dongcheng District, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. The company designs, casts, and assembles automatic control valves across an extensive product portfolio that includes motorized (electrically actuated), pneumatic, solenoid, and manual valves, complemented by ISO 5211-mounted actuators, control valves, globe valves, gate valves, safety relief valves, check valves, flow meters, and pressure reducing valves. Specialized sub-lines cover miniature motorized valves, ATEX/IECEx explosion-proof valves for hazardous environments, IoT-enabled valve solutions with remote monitoring, and a visual remote valve control system. Manufacturing is anchored at three major production bases (with Wenzhou as a primary export hub) and supported by an in-house R&D center and casting capability, providing vertical integration into valve bodies and components.

The company sells primarily on a direct-export, quote-based B2B model with no public pricing, targeting enterprise buyers in four primary verticals: water treatment, chemical and petrochemical, oil and gas, and marine and maritime, with secondary exposure to food and beverage and general industrial automation. Lead generation combines an 11-language multilingual website, participation in international trade exhibitions (IFAT Eurasia, Watertech Shanghai, Indo Water Expo, ASIA WATER), WhatsApp/email/phone direct sales (promising quotes within 2-3 hours), and social media. A regional sales office in Moscow supports the Russian and CIS market. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales plus valve casting and overhaul/repair services; no subscription, SaaS, or recurring contract revenue is disclosed. Named end-customer references include COSCO Shipping Lines, Tauber Oil Company, Yantian Custom, and Tianjin Port, indicating enterprise-grade project wins across multiple geographies including China, the United States, Mexico, Russia, Vietnam, Thailand, the UAE, and Africa.
