Our Services:
- Manufacturing of steam products
- Consulting and Engineering Solutions
Our Policies:
- Quality First
- Incomparable Originality
Since its founding over a half century ago, TLV’s goal has been to produce dependable, long-lasting steam traps. One early outstanding success was the A3, a thermodynamic steam trap offering an amazing 10 times the durability of previous products.
Behind the A3 was the concept of the ‘Trouble Less Valve’, from which the company name originated. From this solid foundation, the line of products and services has expanded until now, more than 50 years later, TLV has become a Steam Specialist Company – a recognized leader in the steam-engineering field.
TLV maintains a level of craftsmanship that surpasses customer expectations. To achieve this, research and development does not imitate present and industry standard designs, but instead completely reengineers concepts and ideas. Driven to design and build only patented products, TLV has obtained over 3700 patents and utility models to date. This number is in and of itself a testament to originality.
Original ideas with technical ability
Original products are not created by a mere idea. A firm grasp of the needs involved, a precise understanding of the physical properties of fluids and metals under various conditions and the ability to combine the pieces of information, technology and materials are all required for original product design.
Development based on proof
Rather than the products, the first priority must be the creation of a test environment, so that the properties influencing the products can be fully understood. In development, definite proof holds the key to success. This is the stance of TLV’s research and development, which uses its own ISO certified test apparatus.
Partnerships for superior design
No matter how superior the vision, products must fill an industry need and be technologically viable to be successful. Working in a partnership with the customer to identify needs and find new solutions, as well as sharing TLV’s technical skill, helps produce superior products and assure customer satisfaction.
Consulting, Engineering, Service
TLV believes that true customer satisfaction can only be obtained by finding solutions to the various difficulties customers encounter in running their businesses and operating their plants. TLV consulting, engineering and service activities are designed to find the best solutions to increase productivity, maximize energy savings, improve quality and promote environmental conservation. CES activities are the embodiment of the complete customer satisfaction philosophy.
