NWC Visits AVK SVMC Factory in Jeddah
Meeting the size specification is only the first step in valve selection. During a recent visit by NWC representatives to our Jeddah factory, the conversation focused on what truly matters: choosing a valve that suits the application and performs reliably over time. 08-10-2026
Choosing the Right Valve: Insights from Our Jeddah Factory Visit
A valve can meet the size specification and still be the wrong choice for the application. That was the starting point of a recent visit by NWC representatives to our AVK SVMC factory in Jeddah.
Our discussions centered on control valves and how operating conditions shape valve selection across water supply, wastewater, industrial, and HVAC systems.
For butterfly valves, we compared designs on the factors that matter long after installation:
- Flow characteristics
- Torque
- Maintenance needs
- Life-cycle cost.
We also talked about fire hydrant safety, material choices, and what it takes for equipment to perform in Saudi Arabia's demanding conditions.
During the factory tour, our guests followed the stages of local production, from start to finish.
The visit reinforced something we believe in: the right valve is the one that fits the application and keeps performing reliably for years to come.
