History

Close corporation ZAO SPETSAVTOMATIKA, being well-known for production of ball valves 11с67п «MARSHAL», has passed not easy years of development before particular success stages were reached.

In autumn 1991 the first company director, Nikolai Dobryshevski, reached a decision about diversification and technical re-equipment of production. The plant obtained a credit for acquisition of equipment, and within a year turning, thread-grinding and planogrinding, jig-boring, pressing and other necessary equipment and outfit was installed. As a result of professional efforts of the company team, a pilot batch of 50 ball valves was produced, and in November 1992 the company announced establishment of a new production division specialized in production of a stop valves. That was the time when the groundwork for present success was laid and development strategy for the next 10 was defined.

Step by step the company made a long way to success, developing production methods and improving consumer specifications of the products, expanding production facilities and implementing production of stop valves in new standard sizes.

Currently our product range is represented by ball valves of 44 standard sizes intended for use at low and average conditional pressures of operating mediums, and in two different designs: flange coupling and prepared-for-welding construction, from DN15 up to DN350/300.

The company management is not going to rest on the attained success, but on the contrary it issues new complicated long-term challenges. In the nearest outlook the company will be able to provide the customers with ball valves of new design, as well as with screen filters for water preparation, allowing to prolong life time both for the stop valves and other pipeline parts. This possibility appeared due to the production development plan, where starting of in-house foundry bay is of strategic importance. Major attention within the company structure is focused on marketing planning of business processes. This in turn demands accurate operation of our team of experts, aimed at acquisition, examination and analysis of demands on the valve market. Any obtained information regarding novelties in the field is reviewed by technological and engineering departments - these subdivisions are responsible not only for ensuring of the product quality, but for designing and introduction of new types of fittings as well. Training system for the personnel is functioning for the purpose of products promotion and quality improvement on all production stages, that in turn allows to bring up in-house highly qualified technicians anxious about global success of the company. Uninterrupted communication with the customers and partners is another essential prerequisite for success.

Our partners effectively work in all regions of the company’s activities on product promotion, providing customers with the finished products from stock, close attention to their needs and are always ready to give qualified answers about technical aspects of product application in technological and production lines.
