YVI’s legacy as a leading manufacturer of premium cast valves began in 1978 when Mr. Li Sr. started working in a valve factory specializing in high-temperature, high-pressure valves for the power industry. Over the next 20 years, Mr. Li Sr. learned the craft of making cast valves and rose to positions of production prominence until finally becoming Factory Manager.
