Revenue model

1. IP Licensing: Licensing the patented technology to tap and valve manufacturers globally. The valve can be incorporated into products from ultra-low-cost units to high-end luxury hotels and homes.
2. Franchise Arrangements: Entering franchise arrangements that will generate income in perpetuity for the company in specific territories or market segments.
3. Global Patent Sale: Open to selling the global patent at the right price, while also considering localised sale and licensing options. Want to retain a share in the business whatever way IP is sold.
4. Spout Replacement Products: Creating a new market for spout products - homeowners can replace tap spouts without plumber services when the valve is installed.

Core offering

Mikk Valve develops and licenses patented default-closed plumbing valve technology for taps (MV1) and radiators (MV2). The valves separate the valve mechanism from the spout, enabling drip-free/leak-free operation, easy tap replacement without disconnecting the mains supply, and radiator isolation/removal without draining the central heating system. The company sells and licenses the IP directly to manufacturers, housing associations, water utilities, and property maintenance contractors globally.

Product overview

MIKK VALVE HOLDINGS LIMITED offers two core valve products: the Mikk Valve Tap (MV1) and the Radiator Mikk Valve (MV2). Both products utilize a proprietary default-closed valve technology that prevents leaks when taps or radiators are not in use. The MV1 is designed for single pillar rotary or push down mixer taps, while the MV2 serves central heating radiators. Both products enable maintenance without system drain-down, saving water and maintenance time. The company positions these as revolutionary plumbing technology with global patent protection across Europe, USA, Africa, and Asia.

Broad incumbents

• Grohe: Global plumbing fixtures and fittings incumbent (LIXIL subsidiary) producing taps, valves, and shower systems. Comparable as the dominant OEM Mikk would have to license through or compete against for shelf and installer mindshare.
• Watts Water Technologies: US-listed manufacturer of valves, flow control, and water conservation products serving plumbing, HVAC, and water infrastructure markets. Comparable as a broad incumbent with established licensing/distribution models in the same categories Mikk targets.
• Moen: Major North American plumbing fixtures brand (Fortune Brands) with broad tap, valve, and shower portfolios. Comparable as a large incumbent whose OEM and retail channels Mikk's licensing strategy must access.
• IMI Hydronic Engineering: Global manufacturer of heating and HVAC control valves, balancing valves, and radiator valves. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the MV2 hydronic/radiator valve category with deep installer relationships.
• Honeywell (Building Technologies): Global building-controls and water-management incumbent offering leak detection and automatic shutoff solutions. Comparable as the broad incumbent pursuing an electronic/smart shutoff path adjacent to Mikk's mechanical one.

Direct peers

• Fluidmaster: Manufacturer of toilet fill valves, flush valves, and tap repair/replacement components. Comparable as a specialist in valve replacement consumables — the same aftermarket spout-replacement dynamic Mikk is building.
• Jaquar: Major Indian tap, faucet, and bathroom fittings manufacturer already in partnership discussions with Mikk. Directly comparable as the OEM Mikk is licensing through, and as a regional incumbent in the very Indian market underpinning Mikk's bull case.
• Pegler: UK and global manufacturer of plumbing valves, fittings, and radiator valves. Directly comparable as an established valve manufacturer whose OEM and merchant channels overlap Mikk's UK go-to-market.
• Reliance Valves: UK-based manufacturer of plumbing valves, isolation valves, and heating controls. Directly comparable as a domestic valve specialist selling into the same housing-association and maintenance-contractor channels Mikk targets.
• Caleffi: Italian manufacturer of radiator valves, thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), and hydronic heating components. Directly comparable as the incumbent specialist whose MV2 radiator isolation valve competes with Mikk's MV2.
