In 2022, Duvalco acquired Industrial Valves from the Ham Baker Group’s receivership, heralding the beginning of a dynamic partnership within the UK’s water and wastewater sectors. Over the last two years, Industrial Valves, with support from Duvalco, has undergone a remarkable transformation, restoring the trusted Industrial Penstocks and Coplastix brands and establishing itself as an industry leader.
Guided by the expertise of General Manager James O’Toole, Industrial Valves has achieved significant progress. With Duvalco’s backing, the company has sharpened its focus on customer needs, delivering tailored, high-quality engineered solutions. Through strong framework agreements, Industrial Valves now serves key UK water utilities, further cementing its position in the market.
Commenting on this achievement, James O’Toole said:“In just 24 months, we have emerged as a renewed force, thanks to the hard work of the dedicated team in Dudley and our strategically placed Key Account Managers. Seeing the revival of the heritage brands Industrial Penstocks and Coplastix has been gratifying, and they are now once again valued in the market. We are gearing up for the critical AMP 8 2025/30 period in the UK water industry.”
This milestone underscores the strength of the partnership between Industrial Valves and Duvalco. Together, they have built a solid platform for future growth, underpinned by innovation, superior quality, and a steadfast commitment to their customers. The partnership exemplifies a true alignment of goals and ambitions—a “marriage made in heaven.”
