TUV has certified that JAG flocomponents' valves meet the standards of the Pressure Equipment Directive required for CE marking for acceptance in the European Union.

The floating ball valves are manufactured by modern CNC machines in JAG's wholly owned facility in China, located in Dalian's free trade zone.

The valves size range includes 1/4 to 3in, in 150-2500 ASME pressure classes.

Typically these soft- seated valves are used in the gas, oil and petrochemical industries for flow isolation.

"This PED certificate opens the door for JAG to provide the advantages of world class economics to European Union companies seeking quality small valves with a competitive edge", says Denis Taschuk, President and CEO.

A JAG distribution facility is in the late planning stages, to be located in Malta for easy access to Europe, as well the Middle East and Africa.

JAG flocomponents is also an international master distributor for Neway, China's largest industrial valve manufacturer for larger valves, from 3 to 48in.

Ball, gate, globe, check and butterfly valves for the gas, oil, refining, chemical, marine, power generation and pipeline transmission industries are included in this product offering.
