What TIV Valves does

TIV Valves S.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer of ball valves for the Oil, Gas & Energy industry, headquartered and operating from a 10,000+ sqm production facility in Rescaldina, Milan. Founded in 2009 and acquired by Gruppo Pietro Fiorentini in 2019, the company builds severe-service ball valves across three core lines: On-Off shut-off valves (bolted and welded body, side entry and top entry, including cryogenic, high-temperature, and Twin Ball variants), Pig Launcher/Receiver valves for pipeline cleaning, and the Deltaflux control ball valve for flow and pressure modulation. The portfolio spans 1/2" to 60" sizes, ANSI 150-4500 and API 2000-20000 pressure classes, -196°C to +450°C operating temperatures, and is supported by a deep certification stack (ISO 9001/14001/45001, API 6D/6A/6DSS, PED, SIL 3 IEC 61508, ATEX) and in-house cryogenic, high-temperature, oxygen-clean-room, and bunkered high-pressure gas test infrastructure.

The business model is quote-based, custom-engineered B2B sales to enterprise Oil & Gas, petrochemical, transmission, distribution, LNG, hydrogen, and power-generation customers, executed through direct enterprise field sales and engineered-to-order project delivery. Revenue is generated from one-time valve sales (On-Off, Pig, Deltaflux), supplemental actuator integration (pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, gas-over-oil), in-house FAT testing, and after-sales on-site maintenance services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, reflecting a consultative, specification-driven motion rather than catalogue pricing.

TIV has been a Shell supplier for more than ten years and operates as part of Pietro Fiorentini Group, which extends its commercial reach internationally. Value propositions centre on extreme operating envelopes, custom engineering developed with end users and engineering companies, dimensional and weight optimisation (Twin Ball, welded body designs), Italian manufacturing quality combined with post-2019 Lean production methodology, and full certification pre-qualification for the most demanding O&G tenders. Talent is developed through structured university partnerships with Politecnico di Milano (C-lean programme), University of Padua, and CUOA, with internal staff certified to EN 9712 Level II for non-destructive testing.

Core offering

TIV Valves is an Italian manufacturer of high-quality ball valves for the Oil, Gas & Energy industry, offering three core product families: On-Off ball shut-off valves (side entry and top entry, bolted/welded body, cryogenic, high temperature, and twin-ball variants with pressure classes up to ANSI 2500/API 15000 and sizes up to 60"), Pig Launcher/Receiver trunnion ball valves for periodic pipeline cleaning, and Deltaflux control ball valves for flow modulation. The standard range is integrated with tailor-made engineered solutions, supported by in-house testing (cryogenic to -196°C, high temperature to +450°C, high-pressure gas) and worldwide on-site after-sales maintenance.

Product overview

TIV Valves is an Italian manufacturer of high-quality ball valves operating in the Oil, Gas & Energy sector. The company offers a portfolio of three core product lines: On-Off Valves (ball shut-off valves available in side entry and top entry configurations with bolted/welded bodies, cryogenic, high temperature, and twin ball variants), Pig Launcher/Receiver Valves (trunnion ball valves for pipeline cleaning operations), and Deltaflux Control Ball Valves (control valves for flow modulation and pressure control). All products support multiple operator configurations including bare stem, manual (lever/gear), and motorized actuators (pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, gas). The standard range is integrated with tailor-made engineered solutions for specific operating conditions.

• Pig Launcher/Receiver Valves

Products and services

• On-Off Ball Valves Ball shut-off valves for the Oil, Gas & Energy industry, with pressure classes up to ANSI 2500 and API 15000 and sizes up to 60". Available in floating and trunnion configurations, including side entry (bolted/welded body, cryogenic, high temperature, Twin Ball) and top entry (standard, cryogenic, high temperature) variants for severe service conditions. Configurable with bare stem, manual lever/gear, or motorized actuators (pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, gas).
• Pig Launcher/Receiver Ball Valves Trunnion ball valves used for periodic pipeline cleaning, allowing pigs to be fed in and retrieved safely. They reduce space requirements, initial investment and maintenance costs versus conventional pigging methods, and serve as a compact alternative to traditional pig launcher/receiver arrangements in oil and gas pipeline operations.
• Deltaflux Control Ball Valves Control ball valves designed to modulate and control flow rate and/or pressure drop of process fluids, featuring high Cv flow coefficients and minimum pressure drops in fully open position. Metal-to-metal seating with tungsten carbide coatings supports severe-service use. Available in side entry (bolted body, welded body, cryogenic, high temperature) and top entry (standard, cryogenic, high temperature) variants for Oil & Gas and green energy applications.
• Custom-Engineered Valve Solutions Tailor-made engineered valve solutions developed in collaboration with end users and engineering companies for specific operating conditions, including materials selection, design optimization, in-house testing, and on-site maintenance support worldwide.
