Denholm Valvecare Ltd in new European Partnership

Agreement with Ringo Valvulas will see the high quality, European manufactured valve range gain greater market traction in the UK.

Denholm Valvecare Ltd (DVL), the Aberdeen, Lincoln and Great Yarmouth based valve service and supply specialists have signed a new strategic partnership with Spanish manufacturer Ringo Valvulas. The agreement is a result of DVL’s increased focus on European Standards and plans for continued growth.

DVL, founded in Lincolnshire in the 1970s, has four decades of experience in valve solutions, including system design, maintenance and repair. In recent years the company has returned impressive growth figures, and the agreement with Ringo is a result of a continued drive for improvement.

‘Ringo products offer our clients quality valves using materials sourced purely within Europe. As European materials have been subject to many stringent criteria over the years, the quality of Ringo Valvulas is some of the best in the world’ says DVL MD Roy Wood.

‘Clearly China is the most influential in terms of global supply, and quality can be achieved with these products but only in certain areas, from certain foundries.

‘It is very difficult to gauge the origination of products from the Far East, which means the quality becomes hard to vouch for. This is why more and more UK companies are highlighting ‘full EU materials’ as a requirement on their specification.’

‘quality products’

DVL and Ringo’s exclusive agreement will see products and services offered in both directions. The combination of a complete range of high quality valves and a strong history of service and supply in the North Sea has already reaped rewards. The win of a five-year framework agreement to supply and service two sites for SSE Hornsea at Atwick and Aldborourgh, did not come as a surprise to José Manuel Garcia Monclus, MD of Ringo Valvulas, who believes the alliance was crucial to securing the deal.

‘It was clear that SSE wanted a service company to provide all the valves from the same manufacturer,’ he says.

‘This appears to have been a critical point with them. They came to our plant, saw and touched the quality of the products, saw that we supply to nuclear, as well as oil & gas operators and felt confident thatwe will supply a quality product with the precise after sales care they require.’

Roy Wood is confident that DVL will be supplying Ringo’s range of ball, gate, globe, check, plug, control, choke and butterfly valves to many future projects.

‘The framework agreement pushes our offering to a new level. The performance of both DVL and Ringo Valvulas is now quantifiable on the largest scale, giving our clients extensive data by which to measure our products and service. It shows we are a cost-effective, secure option that they can trust with any contract or framework agreements and that these are all handled with the uppermost professional capabilities.
