About Berluto
Berluto is a manufacturer of industrial valves with its headquarters and development and production facility in Tönisvorst on the Lower Rhine. The company manufactures and assembles pressure reducers, float valves and overflow valves as well as accessories, repair kits and spare parts exclusively in Germany. The valves are developed and engineered to precisely match different media, pressure ranges, flow rates and applications. Production uses computer-aided CAD/CAM development with a direct link to CNC machining centres, ensuring high precision and short lead times even for large series and customised special valves. Materials used are gunmetal, brass, stainless steel and sealing materials, which are subjected to an incoming inspection. Customers include the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, the food and beverage industry, the energy and power plant industry, mechanical and plant engineering, and water and wastewater technology.

History
- 1917
Jean Bergner invents a new float valve in Düsseldorf and, together with the merchant Ludwig and the plumber Toeller, founds the company “Berluto Schwimmerhahngesellschaft Ludwig & Co.” – the name is composed of the initial letters of the three surnames.
- 1920
Start of float valve production, with which the company's history began; to this day, float valves are produced in stainless steel, brass and gunmetal.
- 1977
Relocation of the company headquarters to Tönisvorst on the Lower Rhine.
