Advanced Automation and Precision Cleaning for all Industries

The Bray Valve Automation Centre (VAC) model brings together valves, actuators, controls and accessories into complete, integrated and tested assemblies, tailored to the specific application.

For customers, this one-stop-shop approach reduces complexity, shortens project timelines and creates clear responsibility from specification through installation and operation. In industries where reliability, documentation and accountability are critical, the value lies not only in the individual product, but in the complete engineered solution and the confidence that one partner stands behind it.

In Europe and the Middle East, Bray continues our focus on VAC locations in Glasgow, Germany and Dammam. These sites serve as centres of expertise for valve automation, customised assemblies and lifecycle services, supported by qualified personnel, standardised processes, modern testing and clear documentation methods. This regional structure allows Bray to support both project business and aftermarket requirements while maintaining consistency, traceability and technical reliability.

In 2027, Brays Glasgow facility will enter an exciting new phase of expansion, strengthening its capabilities and supporting future growth. The development will include a new dedicated VAC area with state-of-the-art pneumatic, electrical and valve automation testing capabilities.

Bray is your dedicated single source supplier of turnkey flow control solutions.

VAC capabilities include:

  • Non-Destructive Examination
  • Leakage Testing (Hydro, Air, Gas)
  • Performance Testing Factory Acceptance Testing 
  • Partial Stroke & Full Stroke Testing
  • Calibration
  • Advanced Diagnostics
  • Control Valve Optimization
  • Network Communication Configuration
  • Sil Calculations

 Another commitment to customers is our focus on specialised services such as Bray’s ISO Class 6 Cleanroom offering in the UK. These services are particularly relevant for high-purity industries where product purity, contamination control and process integrity are essential. In such applications, it is not enough for a valve to be technically correct; it must also be assembled, tested and documented under controlled conditions. For customers, this reduces risk during commissioning and operation and gives confidence that the equipment is ready for sensitive process environments.

Cleanroom capabilities include:

  • Oxygen Ready
  • Process Clean
  • Silicone-Free
  • LABS-Free
  •  EC 1935
  • Clean and Degreased

Bray will exhibit at Valve World Expo in Düsseldorf from 1st - 3rd December 2026. Visitors will find the company at stand 3D18, where Bray will present its valve, automation and control capabilities for demanding industrial applications. The exhibition offers an ideal opportunity to meet the Bray team, discuss current project requirements and explore how integrated valve solutions can support safer, more efficient and more reliable operations across Europe, the Middle East and beyond.
