Many people often ask, ‘How do I get into valves? How long do people know they want to sell valves?’. Of course, a common answer is always to let them know that it is an excellent question and no, many do not even know what valves are for a long time.

These are not the building blocks to a career in valves – or are they? Could it be that all roads lead to valves? The next question, then, is: does one need experience to work in valves?
