Selling the business to John King Group is an exciting one. Yes, it frees up some of my time and enables me to focus on what I love the most, which is the design and engineering of the Valves. Having John King Group ambitious team behind DAB Valves, I know will take the brand to the next level. You only have to visit their Leeds manufacturing site to feel the energy and hunger for success, along with their continued reinvestment in equipment and people. |

DAB Valves have a multitude of valves and associated equipment within their range from Slide and Butterfly Valves to Gravity Flap Diverter Valves and Drop Out Boxes. With optional ATEX certified valves and an array of unique characteristics including ‘dust tight sealing’ and slide plate short-stop’, to minimise material leakages and avoid build up, these are just a few of the tangible reasons why DAB Valves has continued to be successful for the previous 40 years.
With the acquisition, it will enable the DAB Valves brand to further strengthen with our global support network and considerable in-house design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities. |
