The personnel driving the company has been working in the valve business for more than 20 years and has engineered valves which represent the most updated solutions to the severe environment of offshore and subsea application. The company’s major factory is located in Delebio, at the entry of Valtellina, which is around 100km north of Milan.

AN UNDERSTANDING OF INDUSTRY NEEDS
As the website says: “We understand the needs of the industry; our willingness is to work with our customers to offer the best configuration and to meet individual requirements. Therefore in this way we ensure ultimate reliability and safety providing the end users with tailor made valves.”

Fitech Italia has got a valuable reputation regarding the supply of valves for shutdowns and other critical events where it is extremely important to reach the contractual delivery date.

To satisfy the utmost critical requirements in terms of shortest delivery time, Fitech Italia has on stock a large number of raw forged materials (including duplex stainless steel), therefore reducing drastically manufacturing process time to only the machining works activities.

As the company’s mission statement reveals, Fitech Italia believes in customer satisfaction and is constantly in pursuit of enduring quality for the valves, in order to comply with the more strict requirements of application within the Oil & Gas industry. Production losses of end users are not considered acceptable by Fitech Italia.

Losses are very often due to faults regarding operation and functionality of the valves. The firm considers valves a necessary and active part of a whole industrial procedure: “Our philosophy is “just-in-time production process” combined with a full quality system, for our products and procedures, giving space not to mass manufacturing and series assembly, but only to production which is under control at anytime, tailored and dedicated to fit our clients expectations and their eventual commitments,” says the firm.

It is an enviable formula for success and it is this diligence that makes the company a leader in its field. There is no doubt that the company’s expertise in valves will bring it much success in the future.
