Company Profile

The Steam Specialist

Since its founding over a half century ago, TLV's goal has been to produce dependable, long-lasting steam traps. One early outstanding success was the A3, a thermodynamic steam trap offering an amazing 10 times the durability of previous products.

Behind the A3 was the concept of the 'Trouble Less Valve', from which the company name originated. From this solid foundation, the line of products and services has expanded until now, more than 50 years later, TLV has become a Steam Specialist Company - a recognized leader in the steam-engineering field.

Customer Satisfaction

TLV is true to the philosophy of complete customer satisfaction through strict adherence to its two fundamental policies:

• Quality First
• Incomparable Originality

Only through providing superior products and services that are of great benefit to the customer can complete satisfaction be guaranteed. This is the credo that has supported TLV's growth since its inception, and will continue to be the guide into the future.

Quality First

TLV's quality system is certified to ISO9001, with products and services exceeding the strictest standards and requirements for a wide range of applications including nuclear power generation and pharmaceutical grade clean steam.

Incomparable Originality

TLV approaches product development with continuous dedication to customer needs. Development means the creation of totally new ideas and concepts. The many patents derived through this development process attest to TLV's dedication to innovation.

Innovation

TLV maintains a level of craftsmanship that surpasses customer expectations. To achieve this, research and development does not imitate present and industry standard designs, but instead completely reengineers concepts and ideas. With the principle 'to design and build only patented products' at its core, TLV currently holds over 2000 patents (including pending items). This number is in and of itself a testament to originality.
