Since its formation in Japan over 50 years ago, TOMOE has become a global leader in the production of high quality and technically advanced ranges of butterfly valves, actuators and control systems. Our dedication to developing products that continue to satisfy the sophisticated demands of process control today has earned us a reputation for supplying one of the finest and most comprehensive ranges of butterfly valves and actuators in the world.

TOMOE products can be found operating in a wide range of industries worldwide including oil & gas, petrochemical, marine, water treatment, vehicle manufacture and power generation, forming a trusted and reliable part of the process in each and every application.

The European headquarters of TOMOE were established in Newport, South Wales in 1986 to develop the business in the UK, Europe, Africa, Middle East and Canada.

In 1997, TOMOE Tritec Ltd was formed to design and manufacture high performance Triple Offset Rotary Process Valves. The Triple Offset design provides performance and benefits that are ideal for arduous, high pressure, high temperature applications within the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical and Power Process markets.

In April 2006, TOMOE Tritec Ltd was merged with TOMOE Valve Ltd. The newly combined company is called TOMOE VALVE LIMITED, located at the European Headquarters in Newport, South Wales (UK) and handles operations in the UK, Europe, Russia, Africa, USA and Canada and South America. From this site, TOMOE implements a full programme of design, manufacture and valve assembly, as well as maintaining comprehensive stocks for all TOMOE process valves.

We maintain large stocks of butterfl y valves ready for fast and efficient delivery and a support team of highly trained engineers is ready to provide technical help and practical advice wherever it is needed. Our UK production facility also incorporates a Valve Actuation Centre offering a 24-hour turnaround of stock item valves and actuators that can be customised to exact specifications.
