EMERSON
A GLOBAL NETWORK OF INTERNATIONAL BRANDS
Emerson is the name behind the world’s most comprehensive range of valves,
actuators and associated flow control products.

Supplying a host of leading global brands, we work closely with the oil & gas,
power generation, mining, chemical, food & beverage and marine industries, to
anticipate their needs and exceed their expectations.

The Vanessa triple offset valve was the first to provide bidirectional zero leakage*
performance, creating a new industry category using a technology not previously
available with other quarter turn valves. There are now over 300,000 Vanessa
valves operating around the world.

A strong commitment to maintaining and improving the quality of both product

performance and customer service is inherent within our management policy.

* Zero leakage means no visible leakage when tested at high pressure with water and
low pressure with air according to existing international standards
