What DVD Valves does

DVD Valves (legally DOĞUŞ VANA) is a privately held, family-owned Turkish manufacturer of industrial valves and hydrants for water infrastructure, founded in 1988 and headquartered in İzmir with a 20,000m² (12,000m² enclosed) production facility in the Manisa Organised Industrial Zone. The company employs approximately 220 people, including 15 engineers and a vocational training school cohort, and operates at a stated capacity of roughly 250 tons of valves per month.

The product portfolio comprises 48 distinct valve and hydrant types across nominal sizes DN25-DN2600 and pressure ratings PN10-PN70, spanning gate, butterfly, check, air, control, needle, balancing, and foot valves; Y, basket, and crepine strainers; dismantling pieces; irrigation and fire hydrants; and ultrasonic and pre-paid water meters. Differentiated offerings include buried-type underground air valves with integrated stainless steel sleeves, hydraulic self-operating control valves requiring no external power, aero-kinetic non-slam air valves, and pre-paid ultrasonic watermeters with credit-based shut-off. Materials cover ductile iron, carbon steel, stainless steels (304/316/304L), nickel aluminum bronze, duplex, and monel. The company holds ISO 9001/14001/45001, WRAS, GOST, CE/EN, MID, and UL/FM certifications.

Commercially, DVD Valves sells directly to municipalities, water authorities, agricultural irrigation buyers, industrial and power-generation operators, and contractors on a custom quotation basis, with pre-sales engineering design and after-sales service included. Approximately 40% of revenue is derived from exports to more than 55 countries, with the remainder in the domestic Turkish market. Following a 2021 strategic planning exercise, the company formalized a 'Go Global 2030' nine-year roadmap covering revenue, profitability, personnel, product, market, production, and organizational targets.
