ADANAC Valve Specialties and AIV UK Announce Opening of New Facility

Published: 10th November 2025 | Issue 102

ADANAC Valve Specialties and AIV L.P. have opened a new state-of-the-art facility in Woolpit, Suffolk, United Kingdom. Featuring advanced equipment and expanded space, this site streamlines inventory management, accelerates order fulfilment, and brings specialised valve modification services under one roof. This strategic consolidation unites ADANAC, a custom valve modification facility, and its sister company, a leading master distributor, marking a major milestone in the companies' continued growth and collaboration. It will enhance efficiency and service for customers, suppliers, and employees across the UK and international markets.

Frank Jimenez, UK Managing Director, stated, "This move reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality valve distribution and customized valve solutions with even greater efficiency". He added, "By consolidating both operations under one roof, we're able to maintain our high standards in valve services such as cryogenic conversions, precision machining, welding, bellow seals, heating jackets, and more".

The new 50,000-square-foot facility, designed for operational efficiency and future growth, houses ADANAC, who have relocated all machinery, specialist testing, and operations to the new location to centralize processes and ensure continued quality in custom valve modifications. AIV holds there its comprehensive range of valves, including ball, gate, globe, check, butterfly, and swing check valves. These are readily available for shipment throughout the UK, Europe, and international markets.

Dale Kingfisher, ADANAC Sales Director, highlights operational improvements: "The new facility allows ADANAC to expand in space, staff, and invest in new equipment.

ADANAC now handles up to 5 tonnes across the whole workshop. With new investments in our clean room and testing facility, we now handle more capacity and larger items, helping our customers secure more business".

Mark Shipp, AIV Outside Sales Manager, emphasized the customer benefits of the move, noting, "The new joint facility has allowed us to enhance both our stock range and ADANAC's capabilities, whilst improving lead times. We would encourage anyone to pick up the phone or come in and see us here; the facility is worth a visit".

Founded in 1986, ADANAC provides a comprehensive and reliable source for modifying, testing, and supplying quality valves and services, focusing on industry-leading delivery solutions - www.adanac.co.uk
