About ARI-Armaturen
ARI-Armaturen Albert Richter GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1950, is an owner-managed family company headquartered in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock (East Westphalia) that manufactures industrial valves for liquid and gaseous media. The portfolio includes shut-off valves (FABA®), control valves (STEVI®), safety valves (SAFE), soft-seated butterfly valves (ZESA®/GESA®), triple-eccentric process valves (ZETRIX®), steam traps (CONA®) as well as electric actuators (ARI-PREMIO®) and systems engineering (PREsys®, CORsys®, ENCOsys®) – over 20,000 products in more than 200,000 variants. Manufacturing takes place at three production sites in Germany (Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock, Homberg/Efze, Halle) according to the standardized ARI production system (APS) with a high degree of automation and integrated digital processes; every valve is 100 % tested. Development relies on CFD and FEM simulation, in-house rapid prototyping via 3D printing and its own test rigs for steam, water, air, thermal oil and cryogenic applications. Customer industries include chemicals, petrochemicals, the process industry, food and beverages, building services/HVAC as well as steam and condensate management including hydrogen applications. Through subsidiaries and sales partners, the company is represented worldwide.
