The Future’s Bright: The Future’s Flowing Through Valves

According to an article in the Guardian in 2012, despite applications to University being down in recent years, intake of students to Chemical Engineering courses were up that year by 4%, and by all accounts continue to grow.

As we know, studying chemical engineering can open up a whole range of career opportunities around the World; not just the development of new or adapted substances and materials but the design, manufacture and operation of plants and machinery.

What does this growing interest in the sector mean for us in the Valve Industry?

Should we be interested in what the new kids on the block are up to? Or should we only be building relationships with the financial directors, project leaders and process engineers most likely to sign an order for valves?

New graduates are the people who most quickly adopt new technologies, push the envelope; the ones who are enthusiastic about what can be achieved over the next decades. While we happy experienced old war horses tend to stick with tried and tested methods and systems, our client companies are bringing on board the next generation of engineers bursting out of cutting edge University environments into “real world” scenarios to build the future of their businesses (and the World) through invention and innovation.

At Valve and Process Solutions we like to think we are ready for them, ready to help their understanding of all that is available, what the tried and trusted kit (which may never be improved on) is, and which brand is best for what they are trying to achieve. But further than this we are constantly working with our manufacturing partners such as Westlock, SchuF and Flowserve to promote, explain and supply the best in new developments.

It would be easy to sit back, put boxes on the shelf and wait for an order number – but what is exciting about that?

We want to see the new innovations we have now - and the ones we know are on their way - out there, doing what they were developed to do.

We want to bring the best the Valve Industry has to offer, not only to continue our first class service and relevant accurate advice to existing clients, but to inspire all those young engineers as they build experience and help grow the companies they work for.

WE WILL help make the World a more innovative, efficient, exciting place for engineers and their vision for the future – one valve at a time!
