Company History


Rota Val Ltd was formed in 1970 as a specialist and dedicated manufacturer of Rotary and Diverter Valves for the Solids Handling Industry. Backed by extensive experience and knowledge, Rota Val has evolved its products into one of the widest ranges of standard sizes and features available as well as developing unique features and models.

Our experience and expertise coupled with complete in-house facilities, provides for us to design and manufacture be-spoke valves, when necessary, thereby ensuring that Rota Val can satisfy most customer and duty requirements competitively.

To further benefit from its strong growth experienced, in 1991 the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Swiss based specialist materials handling Group, Gericke Holdings AG. While remaining essentially an autonomous business, the additional technical and commercial support provided by the Group, including modern computerised test facilities, has enabled us to achieve and maintain a position in the forefront of its market.

In December 1994 the Company was awarded the coveted certificate for ISO 9001 Quality management system; the first Rotary & Diverter Valve manufacture to have achieved this accreditation. In 2002 this was extended to ISO 9001 - 2000

In 1996 the Company’s facilities were relocated into our current and larger premises in Chippenham, there then followed a major investment in modernising our production activities and services and we can now boast an effective and flexible capability.

In 2004 Rota Val became the first manufacturer of its product type to be awarded an EC - Type Examination Certificate for its Rotary Valves to be used as an ‘Autonomous Safety System’ for Explosion / Flame containment under the ATEX 94/9/EC Directive for ST2 dusts.

Rota Val’s competitive high-quality products and ability to provide a high level of technical and after-sales support have made it the exclusive supplier to many of its customers.

 

In December 2005 the Company were delighted to announce that they were awarded IIP status. The award follows an independent assessors review, which is then checked by a panel of judges.
