What Berluto Armaturen-GmbH does

Berluto Armaturen-GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of industrial valves, founded in 1920 in Düsseldorf by Jean Bergner and now headquartered in Tönisvorst, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company designs and produces pressure reducing valves (Druckminderer), float valves (Schwimmerventile), and overflow valves (Überströmventile) for water, steam, compressed air, technical gases, and other neutral media in building and industrial applications. Products are manufactured in Germany from red brass, brass, and stainless steel, with proprietary features including inlet pressure compensation (Vordruckkompensation), gunmetal housings for corrosion resistance, and exchangeable valve seats or replaceable cartridge designs that simplify maintenance. The portfolio spans pressure reducer series 2 through 8, float valve series SV/KSV/RSV/ESV, and overflow valve series SP, supported by repair kits, spare parts, and accessories.

The company operates a direct sales model with inquiry-based engagement, no e-commerce or marketplace presence, and a stated value proposition of 24-hour quote turnaround and 48-hour delivery on roughly 70% of the catalog. The website serves as the primary customer touchpoint, with technical documentation, CAD/STEP files, and a kv-value calculator available for engineering specifiers. End applications include drinking water distribution, seawater cooling, steam systems, high-temperature processes up to 190°C, tank blanketing, and general building technology. With 10 employees and no disclosed revenue, marketing channels, partnerships, or distribution network, Berluto presents as a small, mature specialty manufacturer reliant on its century-old brand reputation and replacement-parts service flow rather than on scale-driven growth.
