Advanced Valve Technologies (AVT) manufactures the EZ Valve, an insertion valve that can be installed without the need to shut off the flow and has built an enviable reputation for award-winning product quality, first-class customer service and now, industry-leading product lead times.
AVT’s operations are led by the company’s Senior Vice President of Operations, Amit Chaudhary. He and his world-class operations team’s focus has been to improve quality and drive down lead time by implementing policies and processes as well and working with the rest of the organization’s leadership team to create a true customer-first culture.
AVT is now proud to announce that lead times for its standard valves, those sized 4” to 12” now typically sit at just one to three weeks. The company also offers an expedited program which sees valves shipped in just two days – a truly unique opportunity for the water industry.
“The company knows that when municipalities and other water system operators identify a leak and need to install a new control point to isolate the problem area, they simply cannot afford to wait months for an insertion valve to be delivered,” said AVT’s President, Harry Gray. “When the company’s leadership team took over operations, AVT pledged that the company would do everything possible to overcome the issues faced by customers. Over the past four years lead times have been steadily improving and AVT is delighted to have hit this one-week milestone.”
“Driving down lead time to ensure customers are not left waiting for a vital product has always been the aim within AVT operations,” Amit said. “AVT can make a positive impact in people’s lives as well as assist in the safeguarding of the environment by delivering quality products as quickly as possible, and AVT is immensely proud of the team for achieving this outstanding lead time.”
With tens of thousands of valves installed on water lines across five continents, many of which have been in operation for decades, AVT and the EZ Valve have become synonymous with quality, customer service and now world-first lead times.
