In the export of industrial valves, packaging is often regarded as merely the final step before delivery. However, during actual transportation, packaging directly affects the overall condition of the valve during transit, handling, and even at the moment the customer unpacks it.   For industrial valves that must undergo long-distance transportation and multiple transshipments, packaging itself is an integral part of product quality. Based on extensive export experience, DERVOS has established a clear, stable, and repeatable valve packaging standard to ensure that valves are delivered to customers safely and in perfect condition.   1. Pre-Packaging Preparation and Product Verification   Before entering the packaging process, all valves undergo cleaning, inspection, and product information verification. This stage ensures that each valve is in a stable and fully controlled condition before packaging.   ● Remove oil and grease from the valve body surface ● Inspect flange sealing surfaces and the valve cavity to ensure no foreign matter is present ● Install and securely fix the nameplate to ensure product information is clear and identifiable   This process provides a reliable foundation for subsequent protection and transportation.   2. Internal Anti-Corrosion Treatment and Sealing Surface Protection   To address the conditions typically encountered during export transportation, valves receive targeted protective treatment prior to packaging:   ● The valve cavity is evenly coated with anti-rust oil to reduce the risk of corrosion in humid or salt-laden environments ● Protective covers are installed on all flange faces to prevent impact damage or contamination during handling and transport   These measures ensure that both internal components and sealing surfaces remain in good condition until the valves arrive at the customer's site.   3. Multi-Layer Inner Packaging and Individual Valve Protection   During the inner packaging stage, DERVOS applies a multi-layer cushioning structure to provide comprehensive protection for each valve:   ● Impact-resistant pearl cotton is placed around all sides and at the bottom of the inner carton ● Separators are installed between valves to prevent direct contact ● Each valve is individually wrapped with protective cushioning material, with special attention given to coatings and machined surfaces   This packaging structure effectively reduces the risk of paint damage, abrasion, and surface defects during transportation.   4. Custom Partition Fixing and User-Friendly Design   When multiple valves are packed in the same crate, custom wooden partitions are used to secure each unit:   ● Valves are precisely positioned according to their dimensions to prevent movement inside the crate ● Partitions feature chamfered edges, making it easier for customers to open the crate and remove the valves ●&nb...

Recently, representatives from Dervos Valve visited long-term industrial valve partners in Norway, Italy, Germany, and Spain. The multi-day trip focused on understanding customers’ current project requirements and discussing future procurement plans and technical specifications in greater depth.     In Norway, our team was invited to visit the customer’s equipment installation workshop and valve application site. Through direct discussions with the engineering and procurement teams, we gained a clear understanding of their concerns regarding high-pressure applications, material selection, and delivery schedules. The customer noted, “Dervos has an excellent grasp of our project needs. Your quick response and professional recommendations give us great confidence.” This feedback reflects not only trust in our product quality but also strong recognition of our service capabilities.   The team then traveled to Italy for technical discussions with our local partners and visited their valve assembly and testing facilities. Our representatives introduced Dervos’s manufacturing capabilities, quality inspection processes, and ongoing product enhancements across ball valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, and check valves. The Italian customer remarked, “The solutions you presented are highly practical and will significantly improve the reliability of our projects.” Such positive feedback further strengthened the confidence in our partnership.   Through this trip, Dervos gained deeper insights into the European market’s expectations regarding valve performance, quality control, and delivery reliability. We will continue to refine our products and services based on customer feedback, ensuring that every partner receives a reliable and fully tailored one-stop valve solution.   Looking ahead, Dervos Valve will remain committed to our service philosophy of listening to customers, responding quickly, and delivering real value. With higher product standards and more professional technical support, we aim to strengthen and advance our cooperation with customers around the world.

The global industrial valve market is undergoing a quiet yet significant transformation. Growth is no longer driven mainly by new construction projects — instead, it’s increasingly fueled by the replacement and modernization of aging equipment and infrastructure. From petrochemical plants to municipal water systems and natural gas pipelines, valve upgrades have become a key priority across industries.   Aging Equipment Drives Rising Valve Replacement Demand   In many industrial facilities, valves—though seemingly durable—gradually suffer from seal wear, sluggish operation, and leakage after years of service. For plants operating over a decade, valve degradation has become a major factor affecting safety and efficiency.   With stronger focus on maintenance, process safety, and energy efficiency, end users in oil & gas, power, and water treatment sectors are accelerating valve replacement and upgrade projects. This trend aligns with a global shift toward predictive maintenance and sustainable operations, increasing demand for ball valves, gate valves, and control valves.   Market research from Mordor Intelligence and others shows a shorter valve replacement cycle due to rising maintenance costs and downtime risks. Stricter environmental and safety standards are also pushing faster modernization worldwide. In the U.S., for example, the water sector—with pipelines averaging over 40 years old—is investing in large-scale valve renewal programs to reduce leakage and unplanned shutdowns. Similar initiatives are emerging across Europe and Asia.   Infrastructure Investment Fuels Market Expansion   Beyond replacements, ongoing infrastructure investment continues to drive valve demand globally. Asia’s rapid industrial growth and the Middle East’s refining and petrochemical expansion have led to increased valve procurement.   According to GMI Insights, the global industrial valve market reached USD 75.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to hit USD 142.6 billion by 2034 (CAGR: 6.6%). Precedence Research forecasts even higher potential—up to 12.5% CAGR.   This growth is backed by large-scale upgrades in urban water networks, wastewater treatment plants, natural gas pipelines, and energy transition projects such as hydrogen and carbon capture systems, all requiring next-generation high-performance valves.   Valve Replacement Becomes a Smart Technology Upgrade   Modern valves are evolving beyond mechanical parts. With smart manufacturing and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), today’s valves feature sensors, smart actuators, and remote monitoring. Engineers can now track performance in real time and conduct predictive maintenance, reducing unexpected downtime.   Advanced materials like corrosion-resistant alloys, cryogenic steels, and special polymers are extending service life and reliability—especially in harsh environments. For indu...
