THE COMPANY
Milestones
PIBIVIESSE was established in 1981 by three partners,
acquisitions of companies with a long experience in
combining the forgemaster expertise with the experience in
machining ball valve components, in order to expand
valve design, manufacturing and marketing.

Their vision of the future was to design and manufacture
In 1994 Watts Industries Inc. acquired PIBIVIESSE and the
new plant of more than 12,000 sq m (132,000 sq ft) covered
area was built in Nerviano, about 20 km north-west of
Milan, where the head office and main production activities
were transferred.
A new building of further 3,400 sq m (38,000 sq ft) was
added in 1997, to increase capacity for heavy duty

Our vision of the future
Operators in the energy industry are continually requested
to increase production, operate at higher pressures, higher
temperatures, deeper waters and to deal with increasingly
corrosive fluids.
The valves which are vital components in the process, are
requested to perform critical functions in these demanding
conditions.
Meeting the highest quality standards and anticipating new
and future market demands, our mission at PIBIVIESSE is
“Engineering the Future”, supported by the latest
technologies we develop and provide new products tested
simulating the working conditions.
About 2% of the annual turnover is dedicated to R&D for
the development of new products and the improvement of
the existing range, implementing the newest technologies
so to provide our customers with the most advanced
solution at the best value.
The Circor Group
CIRCOR’s business is split in four groups: Aerospace,
Instrumentation, Thermal Fluid Controls Products and The
Energy Products group. It operates through several
manufacturing facilities which are located in the United
States, Canada, Europe and the People’s Republic of
China.
PIBIVIESSE is part of the Energy Products group which is
among the top three producers of ball valves for the oil and
gas markets worldwide and is composed primarily by the
following companies: KF Industries; KF Contromatics;
PIBIVIESSE; KF Telford Valve and Specialties, Mallard
Controls, Hydra seal and SKVC Valve.

PRODUCTION
Designed to perform, built to last
In the production process, every stage is planned to produce
Production planning also includes the control of
quality and the quality is then inspected. The easier a

because our valves are “designed to perform – built to last”.
However, the quality of the finished product is also affected
to a large degree by the way production is planned, and by
the way in which each individual activity is planned.
The operators play a vital role in this area. It is often their
know-how, experience and creativity that form the basis of
the improvements and simplifications which result in higher,
more consistent quality.

Sub-suppliers
Our sub-suppliers’ quality is just as important as our own.
This means that their quality, and the work they do to
improve the level of quality still further, is also a matter of
concern to us.
We therefore aim to establish long-term and close
partnerships with our sub-suppliers. We like to think to our
sub-suppliers as partners with a joint aim, nevertheless their
performances are monitored and recorded on a regular basis
that, combined with our frequent audits, give us the
guidelines to enhance and grow the overall products quality
and reliability.
As a result, we have only selected and quality oriented sub-

the plant, a range of base materials are used to
manufacture the valve components:
• Carbon steel and low temperature carbon steel (C-Mn)
• Low alloy steel (C-Mn-Ni-Cr-Mo)
• 13Cr and 13Cr/4Ni stainless steel
• Austenitic stainless steel (series 300 stainless, e.g.316SS)
• Duplex and Superduplex stainless steel
• 6Mo austenitic stainless steel
• Ni & NiCu alloys
• Ti alloys
All raw materials and commercial components of our
products, unless clearly identified, are sourced either in
Italy or within the European Union.
All materials, without exceptions, before entering into our
production process are inspected according to our stringent
quality control procedures, as dictated in our Quality
Control Manual.

Machining
In-house machining capacity reaches 60” in turning, milling
and boring and 72” ball turning and grinding. All these
operations are carried out by means of very-high precision
machinery and skilled operators, to guarantee the design
tolerances (0.01 mm) necessary for the valves to deal with
high pressures and high temperatures for many years.
Constant attention is devoted to keep all the equipment and
machinery at the maximum efficiency level, and the
personnel is continuously trained and motivated to make the
maximum profit of the advanced technologies used to reach
and maintain that high precision and high quality
manufacturing needed.
PIBIVIESSE valves have gained an optimum reputation on
the market thanks also to the high-precision and highquality manufacturing process.

Assembly and testing
During the assembly operations, all tolerances and matching
between parts are accurately controlled, and orings/gaskets are inserted in order to ensure perfect and
safe seal on body and trunnion.
Welding and cladding
Welding is another qualifying step of the manufacturing
process. The “Fully welded” valve types are assembled by
means of an unique “narrow-gap” process, that ensures
welding of thick materials (up to 300 mm), with a minimum
of heat input and therefore without alteration of the
metallurgical properties of the base material.
PIBIVIESSE ball valves have been subjected to extremely
severe special tests, far in excess of the requirements of the
API and ANSI Standards. A large number of valves have
been subjected to enhanced tests. Special tests such as
high pressure N2/He shell and seat test, high temperature
leak and operational tests have been performed on
customer request by independent laboratories in Italy, UK
and Holland. Some high pressure ball valves, of standard

QUALITY & SAFETY
Only quality can achieve quality - The Total Quality concept
For PIBIVIESSE, succeeding in an increasingly dynamic
environment means doing so in the presence of global
competitors and with a core technology that is migrating
from the industrial western countries to low-labour-cost
countries at a very rapid rate.
We must combine the core values of Total Quality with the
intrinsic entrepreneurial values of creativity, innovation,
and diversity in order to develop a renewed competitive
edge.
More than 20 years in the business have taught us a great
deal about fluid control and the needs of different types of
customers. This is why we have been able to introduce a
vast number of pioneering technologies and solutions.
