Paul Wurth, as a leading technology provider for the primary stage of integrated steelmaking, and SAB, an engineering and manufacturing company particularly specialised in blast furnace mechanical components, decided to join forces by creating a Luxembourg-based competence centre for all types of special valves related to the blast furnace, such as stoves valves, goggle valves, equalising valves and bleeder valves. Additionally, the portfolio of VCL – Valve Competence Luxembourg will include blast furnace Tuyere Stocks of advanced design. The activities of VCL Valve Competence Luxembourg cover engineering, manufacturing, assembly and commissioning with a strong focus on all related after-sales and repair services.
