Industrial valves with engineering and service expertise
RITAG is an independent family-owned company that has been planning, designing and manufacturing industrial valves for more than 50 years. The product range includes check valves, swing check valves, dual-plate check valves, nozzle check valves, high-pressure valves, bottom drain valves as well as sampling systems. The valves are available in all nominal sizes, pressure ratings and materials required by the process and are distinguished by robustness and durability even at extreme temperatures and pressures. Materials used include brass, grey cast iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron, bronze, steel, stainless steel, PTFE, titanium and nickel-based alloys. Customers come from the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, the energy sector as well as shipbuilding and plant engineering, including the oil and gas industry. In addition to manufacturing, the company offers custom design, testing in accordance with international testing standards, and service and on-site support throughout the entire life cycle of the valves. The production site is located in Osterholz-Scharmbeck; the products are used worldwide.
