Sarah Bradley, Editor-in-Chief, Valve World Americas
It has been my honor to head Valve World Americas journal as Editor-in-Chief since 2011. My background in magazine publishing at KCI has introduced me to the several industrial sectors and the world of flow control. I have relished the opportunity to help build up a community for the valve sector in North, Central & South Americas. The magazine reaches a wide audience, many of whom come together during our live events to meet and network face-to-face. On a day-to-day basis, our extensive online activities such as newsletters, daily updates, and a huge online technical article archive keep the members informed and in touch.
Event organization is an important aspect of my job, and it is the part in which I thrive the most as it brings me in touch with our community. It has been my privilege to organize KCI events focusing on valves, fugitive emissions, hoses & couplings, pumps, stainless steel and corrosion resistant alloys, and heat exchangers in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Europe, China, Mexico and more. Networking and the opportunity to work with many people who are passionate about their work and sharing their knowledge with the valve world, is one of the highlights of my work.
I invite you to join the Valve World Americas community where you will find your industry peers, new friends and subject matter experts who can help inspire you and expand your knowledge. If you are not familiar with Valve World Americas journal, let me tell you something about this title. It is widely considered to be a leading magazine on flow control, valves and related components and is published ten times per year. The editorial content strongly focuses on end-user experiences and practical applications. In addition to technical articles, every issue features projects in a variety of industries such as oil & gas, chemical and petrochemical.
