There is a difference between the types of pneumatic valves produced by different companies. This is not unique to pneumatic valve manufacturers, but it is a concern for Original Equipment Manufacturers and contractors looking for standard or custom order valves that are designed for optimal performance and long-lasting operation.
Finding the best pneumatic valve manufacturers requires some research about the various companies. This can be done online or with a few quick phone calls, and it is time well-spent in finding a company to partner with for all your pneumatic valve needs both now as well as in the future.
Ask the Experts
Often, in-house engineers and experienced project managers in a range of different industries have direct experience in working with different brands of valves. Asking staff for names of quality brands and lines can be very helpful, providing real-world information on how easy the manufacturer was to work with, the quality of the valves and also how the valves stood up once they were installed.
Complete Online Searches
It is not likely the best pneumatic valve manufacturers are located in your general area, but a quick online search quickly shows companies across the United States as well as those abroad. It is a wise choice to stay with US-based companies, ensuring the valves will meet any industry standards required and meet quality control standards.
Check Experience
The longer a valve manufacturer has been in business, the better the quality of their products. This is a highly competitive field with companies with poor designs and limited quality control quickly closing their doors. Avoiding companies that are new to the industry is also important as there is limited information on their products and customer support and service.
Companies also tend to specialize, which includes smaller valves or large valves used in commercial processes and applications. By choosing a manufacturer specializing in the size and type of valves needed, OEMs can ensure quality products delivered on schedule and budget.
