Aqua Engineering

What Aqua Engineering does

Aqua Engineering, operating commercially as Aqua Valves, is an Ahmedabad-based manufacturer of industrial flow control valves founded in 2004. The company produces a broad portfolio that spans core products — gate, globe, ball, butterfly, dual plate check, bellow sealed, and non-return valves — together with specialty valves (diaphragm, FEP/PFA-lined plug, needle, pulp, flush bottom tank, angle check, and cage-type glandless piston valves), pipeline accessories (strainers, basket strainers, sight glasses, foot valves), and actuated solutions (pneumatic and electric operated valves). Manufacturing is supported by an in-house hydrostatic test facility that verifies products at actual temperature and pressure, with production conforming to IBR, MSS, API, and ASME standards; the firm holds ISO 9001, IBR, IEC, ZED, and MSME certifications.

Its stated end-markets include power generation, nuclear, oil and gas refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, marine and offshore, paper and pulp, water and wastewater, cement, paints, and consumer goods manufacturing. Named customers include NTPC, NPCIL, BARC, BHEL, Indian Oil, Essar, Petronet LNG, Tata Projects, Aditya Birla Grasim, Murugappa, Madhucon, Sanghi Cement, Esdee Paints, and Eveready. The company asserts a global footprint alongside its core India base.

Aqua Engineering runs a sales-led, inquiry-based go-to-market with no public pricing: customers reach the firm via a website quote form, sales email ([email protected]), phone (+91 90990 93865), and WhatsApp. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of valve units and actuated assemblies to engineering procurement contractors and industrial buyers. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent entity, no distributor network, and a 9-person headcount operating out of a single facility in Rakhial, Ahmedabad.
