Rota Val Ltd
was formed in 1970 as a specialist and dedicated manufacturer of
Rotary and Diverter Valves for the Solids Handling Industry. Backed
by extensive experience and knowledge,
Rota Val
has evolved its products into one of the widest ranges of standard
sizes and features available as well as developing unique features
and models.
Our experience and expertise coupled with complete in-house
facilities, provides for us to design and manufacture be-spoke
valves, when necessary, thereby ensuring that
Rota Val
can satisfy most customer and duty requirements competitively.
To further benefit from its strong growth experienced, in 1991 the
Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Swiss based
specialist materials handling Group, Gericke Holdings AG. While
remaining essentially an autonomous business, the additional
technical and commercial support provided by the Group, including
modern computerised test facilities, has enabled us to achieve and
maintain a position in the forefront of its market.
In December 1994 the Company was awarded the coveted certificate for
ISO 9001 Quality management system; the first Rotary & Diverter
Valve manufacture to have achieved this accreditation. In 2002 this
was extended to ISO 9001 - 2000
In 1996 the Company’s facilities were relocated into our current and
larger premises in Chippenham, there then followed a major
investment in modernising our production activities and services and
we can now boast an effective and flexible capability.
In 2004
Rota Val
became the first manufacturer of its product type to be awarded an
EC - Type Examination Certificate for its Rotary Valves to be used
as an ‘Autonomous Safety System’ for Explosion / Flame containment
under the ATEX 94/9/EC Directive for ST2 dusts.
Rota Val’s
competitive high-quality products and ability to provide a high
level of technical and after-sales support have made it the
exclusive supplier to many of its customers.
In December 2005 the Company was awarded ‘Investors In People’ (IIP) status. The award is in recognition of the Company’s policies and activities in developing its employees to meet the current and future needs of the business.
Recently the company has invested in a major upgrade of its IT to a fully integrated ERP system to further ensure our best service to our customers and efficiency of operation.
The company continues to invest in innovative product developments keeping it in the forefront of its industry, it enjoys the protection of several patents with others pending.
