Gasket International Group: a solution provider for ball & gate valves
When Valve World went to visit privately owned Gasket International at their ultramodern plant south of Bergamo in Italy, C.E.O., Mr Paolo Bergamini and the Chairman, Mr Giuseppe Girelli explained that Gasket International Spa had recently grown up to become a truly international group, designing and manufacturing all core components for ball and gate valves. Its long lasting support, almost 40 years, has enabled valve manufacturers worldwide to go farther, faster. The group has just started up a new plant in China, dedicated to the local valve manufacturers, and a new site in Italy for the production of XL balls, up to 64”. And yet, there’s more to enjoy for the valve makers, as new international patents get filed and a strategic partnership for valve bodies and closures is picking up! It was also emphasized to us that Gasket International is neither a gasket nor a valve manufacturer itself….. and never will be.
