Our factory
At Minivalve, we take pride in having everything we need in-house to make the best possible products for you and our valued customers. From concept design to tooling production, molding, and finishing, it’s all done on-site at our purpose-built, state-of-the-art factory in Oldenzaal, The Netherlands.
Our valves are precision-engineered. They are uniquely designed, developed, and crafted ‘under one roof’ in Twente, a region known as a thriving tech and manufacturing hub with exceptional EU infrastructure and services. It’s also where our dream team of 110 highly skilled workers from over ten countries pours their hearts and minds into manufacturing hundreds of millions of small but mighty valves every year.
Chosen for round versatility and excellence, our materials are selected from the best polymer suppliers around the globe. When we like a particular material for a part, it’s allocated to that part for its lifespan. In other words, we ensure we choose the best possible material to make the best possible component for the best possible application. With best-in-class injection molding machines, we operate 24 hours a day, five days a week. Alongside this, we run all the necessary secondary operations you would expect: coating, finishing, (valve) assembly, welding, and functional testing. Our cleanrooms and flow test laboratory are among the industry’s most rigorous and advanced.
With well-documented, tightly controlled processes, our organization meets the highest, world-class standards in OEM component supply. We prioritize training, development, motivation, and empowerment for our workforce. Skilled manufacturing ensures precision execution at every stage. Detailed control plans and procedures for each stage enable us to monitor and verify the stability of the overall process as a whole and tweak it as needed for optimization. The result is consistent quality-assured output, batch after batch, year after year.
