Industrial Valves Summit Slated for Bergamo, Italy May 27 & 28, 2015

The Industrial Valve Summit (IVS) will bring together decision makers involved in valve technologies and flow control solutions in a two-day conference in Northern Italy. The event was created to attract the entire supply chain of the valve industry and will be held every two years.

IVS provides a biennial forum where industry leaders can address technical issues, introduce pioneering technology and share lessons learned about valve technologies and flow control solutions. An exhibition will be held in conjunction with the conference.

INDUSTRIAL VALVE SUMMIT’s independent expert Advisory Board is responsible for setting the conference themes and suggested topics and for selecting papers to be included in the program. The Advisory Board represents a wide cross section of the industry and comprises experienced professionals from leading end user, engineering and construction companies, service providers, associations and consultancies.

The U.S. will be the second largest purchaser.  India, Russia and Japan round out the top five. Saudi Arabia is in the top ten due to its oil and gas activity.

The markets for control valves are growing faster than those for the on/off segment.  The trend is toward greater automation and optimization of processes.  Globe control valves are important elements in adjusting the flow of fluids to coincide with process changes.
