Valves for mining in Europe

Europe is one of the largest valve-manufacturing regions in the world. The current revival of the European mining industry provides opportunities for producers of valves for mining from developing countries. Germany, the UK, Spain, Poland and Sweden are the most interesting focus countries. The best opportunity for producers from developing countries is to become a subcontractor of parts for European producers. In some cases, producers from developing countries can also supply finished valves to these manufacturers. Another good option for producers from developing countries would be to target specialised distributors. In all cases, producers from developing countries should focus on just a few special valves within their range of products. Finally, the pricing strategy should be highly competitive.
