France stands as a cornerstone of European industrial prowess, with a sophisticated market for manual ball valves driven by its robust nuclear, aerospace, and chemical sectors. From the industrial hubs in Lyon to the maritime facilities in Marseille, the demand for precision-engineered flow control is paramount.
France is investing heavily in the "Hydrogen Plan." This requires ball valves capable of managing ultra-fine molecules at high pressures. Our Fully Welded and Metal Seated designs are perfectly suited for these emerging French green energy projects.
French engineers prioritize compliance with NF EN standards and DESP 2014/68/UE (PED). As a global supplier, SLVCN ensures every manual ball valve delivered to France meets these rigorous European directives.
Even for manual valves, there is a trend toward "Smart Monitoring" in French Industry 4.0. We provide valves ready for limit switch integration to provide position feedback to central control rooms in French refineries.
With over 30 years of manufacturing experience, SLVCN is a professional designer and manufacturer of high-performance forged steel ball valves for critical industrial applications. We specialize in extreme working conditions including high pressure, high temperature, and cryogenic environments, providing safe and reliable flow control solutions for global industrial projects where operational reliability is non-negotiable.
Our core product range covers forged trunnion-mounted and floating ball valves, top-entry and side-entry ball valves, fully welded ball valves, metal seated ball valves, cryogenic ball valves, high-pressure ball valves up to Class 2500 (PN420) and customized higher pressure ratings.

Our Cryogenic Ball Valves are designed for -196°C, making them essential for the expansion of LNG import capacities in Northern France, ensuring bubble-tight shut-off during liquid gas transfer.
In the "Couloir de la Chimie," our Metal Seated Ball Valves handle abrasive and corrosive media, offering longer service life than standard cast valves used in French chemical processing.
Our Fully Welded Buried Valves with extended stems are the preferred choice for French natural gas transmission, minimizing leak paths and maintenance requirements in subterranean installations.
To ensure consistent quality for our French partners, each valve undergoes a complete series of inspections and performance tests in accordance with API 6D, API 598, and ISO 5208. This includes shell tests, seat leakage tests (Rate A), and PMI material verification.
Today, SLVCN serves customers in more than 100 countries, including major EPC contractors and engineering firms throughout France and the European Union. Backed by strong engineering expertise and advanced manufacturing, we are committed to delivering safe, durable, and truly engineered valve solutions for the world’s most demanding industrial projects.
