The 45,000 square foot factory became fully operational on 2 January 2026, following the successful relocation of all machinery by 15 December 2025. The transition has been carefully managed to ensure uninterrupted production while significantly expanding both capacity and capability.
Special cleanroom for the manufacture of oxygen-free valves
The site is now equipped to manufacture components weighing up to 3 tonnes and brings a range of critical processes fully in house. These include an in-house painting facility, advanced non-destructive testing capabilities including fluorescent liquid penetrant inspection, and a modern inspection suite featuring a Coordinate Measuring Machine, contour tracer, and surface roughness testers.
A dedicated clean room has also been established for the production of oxygen clean valves, supporting high-integrity and safety-critical applications.
Beyond increased manufacturing capability, the new facility plays a strategic role within the Group’s global supply chain. Closely integrated with Oliver Valves’ UK operations and international sales network, the Indian factory provides a robust link between British engineering standards and customers in the far reaches of the world, enabling shorter lead times, greater flexibility, and consistent quality across global projects.
British engineering expertise on a global scale
The formal inauguration will take place on 12 February 2026, led by Mark Oliver, with a number of customers in attendance.
The event will provide an opportunity to demonstrate the site’s expanded capabilities and to underline its importance within the Group’s international manufacturing footprint.
This investment reflects Oliver Valves’ long-term commitment to applying British engineering expertise on a global scale. By evolving the Indian operation into an international hub, the Group continues to strengthen its ability to deliver reliable, high-quality valve solutions worldwide, supported by strong partnerships, skilled teams, and decades of industry heritage.
