Tekno Valves was founded in 1971 to serve the compressed gas and liquified gas cylinder valve market. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of our founding, we often reflect back on our humble beginnings which inspire us to focus on the future.
Starting with the manufacture of chlorine valves to serve the Indian marketplace, Tekno Valves soon after developed valves for the industrial market and embarked on vertical integration, through in-house forging die manufacturing and forging of valve bodies. As a result, expansion outside of India began and ISO 9001 certification was attained. Growth into the North American market began in 2005 through the export of chlorine valves to serve the chlorine packaging/bleach manufacturers in the US and Canada. To ensure customers’ confidence in our products, Tekno implemented third party testing through BAM in Germany to certify valve designs through type testing to EN ISO 10297 and CGA V-9. Subsequently, Tekno received TPED certification in compliance with the European Directive allowing for “Pi” stamping of most valve designs, and was granted NABL certification to ISO 17025 as a certified laboratory in the field of chemical, calibration, and mechanical testing which affirms our QA /QC processes.
Tekno Valves North America, Inc was founded in 2009 to further develop the North American marketplace, and with that, Tekno Valves-India looked ahead to provide innovation and continuous improvement of existing cylinder valve designs and manufacturing equipment and processes. The company practices its motto daily – ‘Driven by Excellence’ – through product enhancement and development to meet end users’ needs and exceed their expectations.
