Heaton Valves Africa (HVA) was established in 1992 as an independent local company. The core purpose of Heaton Valves Africa (HVA) is to provide a first-class valve and associated equipment stockholding, distribution and project management service to the oil, petrochemical, process, mining and general industries.

Since inception this privately owned company, with its shareholders playing an active role as directors, has withstood the challenges faced from conglomerate-owned competitors and has grown from strength to strength.

In 2000, HVA’s Process Division obtained the sole local distribution for TLV Steam equipment as well as Leser DIN specification Safety Relief Valves. In 2004, the famous Tomoe range of resilient seated manual and actuated butterfly valves was a welcome addition to the Process Division’s product range , which is now complete with the stocking of Zetkama DIN specification globe valves and Y-strainers in 2015.

Schuf Valve Technology, realising HVA was a force to be reckoned with in the African valve market since entrenching and expanding their business, awarded HVA sole access to their bespoke engineered valves in 2004. Many prestigious and specialised valve projects have been carried out between Schuf Valve Technology and HVA for end users from Cape Town to Qatar. The addition of Protego flame arrestors and low-pressure tank equipment manufactured in Germany, to complement Leser range of API safety relief, changeover and pilot operated valves, gave rise to the creation of HVA’s Engineered Products Division. A complete suite of over pressure products has now been rounded off by the addition of Continental bursting discs from CDC in Missouri-USA. This Engineered Products Division was now clearly capable to service clients requiring specific solutions and product selections not catered for by commodity type equipment in the plant shut down or project environment. High performance, small to large bore, manual or actuated triple eccentric and API 6D pipeline quarter turn valve packages are also covered within this highly technical division.

HVA, now also a household name in flame arrestor sizing and selection to international standards such as API, is expanding throughout the combustion engineering sector and exclusively represents the prestigious Zeeco Corporation based in Oklahoma – USA, with a European facility in Stamford – UK. Zeeco offers a highly technical range of flares, burners, thermal oxidisers and incinerators, as well as a full range of spares, technical support, maintenance and project engineering services for all types of end-users.

HVA is ISO 9001:2015 accredited. All products supplied by the company are manufactured to the required standards by ISO registered firms and go through Heaton Valves Africa Internal Quality control systems to ensure the highest standards in service delivery.
