Miles-Platts has announced a five-year major investment program as it gears up to grow its customer base. During that time, it will install 10 new moulding machines at its base in England. Miles-Platts, with distribution and operations in North and South America, supplies precise injection moulded components into a wide range of industrial sectors, from energy and automotive to transport and the construction industry, with applications for industrial solenoid valves and actuators.

A new website designed solely for the valve industry was launched. Valveconnect.com solely targets stocks of valves and spares and combines two very useful features.

The valve industry employs 50% more people than a decade ago, and it is expecting to add more jobs this year, according to the Employment Snapshot Report presented by the Valve Manufacturers Association (VMA) during a briefing at its 75th Anniversary Annual Meeting.  The Report is based on a survey of VMA member companies, including nearly 100 North American manufacturers of valves, actuators and controls.
