Pacson Valves Ltd
High integrity valves Setting the standard Pacson Valves is a key supplier of high integrity valves to the world oil and gas market, and is a leading developer for severe service and highly critical applications. A privately owned company with its headquarters and modern 50,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Dundee, Scotland, Pacson Valves also maintains a global presence with sales representation in every major oil and gas producing country in the world. Pacson Valves Limited began trading in 1990 having secured the UK distribution rights for Autoclave Engineers Valves and Fittings range, which complimented its own design of high quality subsea cartridge needle valves, and double block and bleed needle valves. Over the next few
years the company experienced steady growth, to the point where it decided to focus solely on its own products. With the in-house ability to develop manufacturing to suit valve products, Pacson Valves began to introduce additional types of valves to compliment its original range, including through conduit gate valves, ball valves, and check valves in smaller bore sizes. From here the size range began to increase to include larger bore main piping and manifold valves, resulting in a complete valve package.
Through this offering, Pacson Valves has dealt with all of the major oil companies, EPCI contractors and wellhead manufacturers over the last two decades. The company’s valve products are supplied to all major subsea oil producing areas including the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Australia and West Africa. In particular, the scope of this supply sees small bore valves going to wellhead manufacturers in the UK, Norway, US, and the Far East, and large bore pipe and manifold valves to EPCI contractors and oil companies worldwide.

“We pride ourselves on the quality of products and services, with a total inhouse capability for the manufacture of bespoke surface and subsea valves, and pressure control products of up to 16 inch/400 mm bore, or 25,000 psi working pressure. This range consists of ball, gate, needle, and check valves. All design and engineering activities are performed in-house, and supported through significant investment into manpower, training, hardware and software. Our in-house machining facility is capable of processing a wide range of valves and equipment components in standard or exotic materials, before assembly and testing,” describes Derek Mason, Business Development Manager.
