SVI Industrial, your one-stop source for a variety of specialized industrial engineering needs, just got even better. We are now partnering with LESER, the largest manufacturer of safety valves in Europe and a leading company in its industry around the world, as an Authorized Repair Center for its valves. LESER specializes in manufacturing safety valves for overpressure protection at industrial sites with boilers for steam generation.
At SVI Industrial, our objective is always to help reduce the cost of ownership and increase our customers’ efficiency. Our high-quality products and engineering know-how allow us to help numerous industries, including chemical, power generation, pulp and paper, refineries, textile fiber, and other similar facilities. Partnering with LESER means that we are authorized to carry out repairs, assemblies, and setting work on LESER safety valves.
In 1818, Georg Wittmann founded LESER as a brass foundry in Hamburg-Neustadt, Germany. By 1856, the company was producing safety valves, and less than 30 years later, it was offering a complete product range of steam fittings, including safety valves. In 1943, LESER moved its production to Hohenwestedt, Germany, where it remains today. Currently, LESER is a company that employs more than 1,000 people, produces 130,000 safety valves every year, and is the largest safety valve manufacturer in Europe.
LESER safety valves are used around the world in markets that include India, China, the United States, Asia, and the Middle East, in addition to its nine subsidiary offices in Europe. Additionally, LESER has authorized repair centers in over 80 countries to provide safety valve users with excellent customer service, support, and quick product deliveries.
Spring-loaded and pilot-operated safety valves from LESER are manufactured for industrial applications in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive and ASME XIII. LESER valves are used in numerous industries, including energy, oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, LNG/LPG, technical gases, shipbuilding, food and beverage, heating and air conditioning, and other general industrial plants.
SVI Industrial is committed to providing cost-effective and efficient solutions to our industrial plant customers on-site and in-shop. We utilize our fleet of seven mobile repair and machine shops when we perform on-site service and repairs. Each mobile unit is outfitted with specialized equipment and mobile tools, so we can alleviate the stress and the cost associated with unexpected industrial equipment failures. In addition, there is a team of expert technicians, machinists, welders, and engineers who are on-call and ready to determine and implement the best solution for the situation.
As SVI Industrial’s capabilities continue to grow, with the addition of becoming an authorized repair center for LESER safety valves, we will have even more opportunities to provide industrial customers with the highest levels of workmanship, repairs, products, and services throughout the U.S. This will allow us to be even better at meeting our customers’ industrial needs. If you need service or repair on a LESER valve in the United States, contact one of our experts to find out how SVI Industrial can help support all of your valve repair needs.
