VYC Industrial

What VYC Industrial does

VYC Industrial, S.A.U. is a 111-year-old Spanish industrial manufacturer founded in 1914 and headquartered in Terrassa, Barcelona, with 70 employees operating from an 8,108 m2 owned facility. The company designs, manufactures and sells industrial valves for fluid interception and regulation, steam boilers and thermal-fluid heating systems, industrial air conditioning and cleanroom solutions, plus industrial legalization consulting. Its valve portfolio is organized into nine categories — safety valves, check valves/filters, steam traps, reducing/mixing valves, float valves, control valves, boiler blowdown valves, automatic level controllers and sight glasses — covering ISO 4126-1 and ASME Section VIII Div. 1 certified full-lift (AIT) safety valves up to DN400 x 500. The boiler portfolio spans fire-tube and water-tube steam boilers, thermal-fluid systems, superheated water boilers, biomass boilers, energy recovery systems and hybrid boiler technology, complemented by electric steam boilers in the 15–400 kg/h range.

Revenue is generated across three models: hardware sales of valves, boilers and HVAC equipment; professional services including boiler-room maintenance, 24/7 technical assistance, steam-trap audits and safety-valve training; and managed services such as full-lifecycle boiler rental. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with a commercial team traveling more than 1,640,000 km annually across 87 countries, supported by an 8-language website (Spanish, Catalan, English, French, German, Chinese, Russian, Arabic) and recurring trade-show presence at Expoquimia (Barcelona) and Valve World (Düsseldorf). The customer base spans industrial manufacturers, the chemical sector (via FEDEQUIM approved-supplier status), food and beverage processors (documented steam-plant references), and industrial facilities requiring HVAC, refrigeration and cleanroom climate control. VYC is privately held, continuously operated since 1914, and holds ISO 9001:2008 plus a dense matrix of classification-society certifications (Lloyd's Register, ABS, Bureau Veritas, Germanischer Lloyd, ECA, TÜV) and Chinese Manufacture License of Special Equipment approval, which together constitute a material regulatory moat in pressure-containing industrial equipment.
