What ARMATEK does

ARMATEK (АО "АРМАТЭК") is a Saint Petersburg-based Russian manufacturer of industrial pipeline valves founded in 1990, specializing in disc valves with proprietary rubber and polymer coatings engineered to resist aggressive media. The company produces six core disc valve series (GARANT, ATLANT, EXCLUSIVE, EXCLUSIVE-M, UNIVERSAL, STANDARD) covering diameters from DN 10 to DN 1600 mm, pressures from 1.0 to 6.3 MPa, and temperatures up to +400°C, complemented by ball valves, gate valves, check valves, compensators, hose valves, and a range of actuators (manual, gear reducer, pneumatic, electric) plus control cabinets. Its core technology differentiator is in-house rubber compounding combined with patented sealing architectures (triple-eccentric metal-graphite sealing in the ATLANT series and proprietary rubber-metal inserts in the EXCLUSIVE series), enabling service lives of 15-30 years in documented installations across more than 300 aggressive media types.

The company operates a direct enterprise sales model through a commercial department, with quote-based pricing, technical consultation for equipment selection, and an e-commerce marketplace (market.armatek.ru) for smaller orders. It holds GOST R ISO 9001:2015, TR EAEU 043/2017, TR TS 032/2013, seismic, and RMRS (shipbuilding) certifications, and counts more than 2,000 Russian and former-Soviet industrial enterprises among its installed base. Documented end customers span Rosatom (deployments at five AES sites including Bushehr in Iran), Gazprom, Rosneft, Lukoil, Transneft, Nornickel, Evraz, MMK, PhosAgro, EuroChem, Uralkali, RusHydro, Russian Railways, and SIBUR, with applications in oil and gas, nuclear, chemical, metallurgical, power generation, water treatment, and municipal infrastructure. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held as a non-listed joint stock company with no identified parent or institutional investors.
