The world is changing – politically, economically and technologically. Escalating tensions in Iran, the war in Ukraine, ongoing trade conflicts and tariff disputes are causing uncertainty on global markets. Supply chains are under pressure, investment decisions are being postponed and energy prices are fluctuating. And yet one thing remains constant: valves ensure stable processes.
With our first international edition this year, we are deliberately looking ahead. This edition of Industrial Valves combines in-depth technical reports on industrial valves, seals and drive technology – with a focus on innovations, materials, digitalisation, efficiency improvements and sustainability. Especially in times of crisis, it becomes clear how crucial reliable components are for safe processes – whether in energy supply, the chemical industry or water management.
Many positive signals from Industrial Valves
Despite all the global challenges, the industry is looking ahead to 2026 with confidence. Numerous events offer platforms for exchange and innovation – from IVS in Bergamo to VALVE WORLD EXPO in Düsseldorf in December, which is considered the international highlight of the year. More than ever, trade fairs are becoming places of orientation in turbulent times.
Our motto for this issue is therefore: Creating stability. Industrial valves regulate, control and secure. They symbolise what distinguishes the industry – precision, reliability and functionality even under extreme conditions.
Presence at all major trade fairs
The printed magazine will be available at numerous international trade fairs that play an important role in the industrial valves and sealing technology sector. These include, among others:
- Valves & Pumps Expo (Warsaw)
- IE expo China (Shanghai)
- IFAT (Munich)
- Industrial Valve Summit (Bergamo)
- Ilmac (Lausanne)
- Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe (Hamburg)
- and many more
