GERICKE ROTAVAL TEAMS UP WITH UTC SWINDON TO CREATE NEW EXHIBITION VALVE! VALVES & FLOW CONTROL A group of 4 students studying for their BTEC Level 3 in Engineering, have been invited to work alongside members of the RotaVal team to design and create an exhibition valve with moving parts. The HDM150 valve will be used for exhibitions by RotaVal and the Gericke Group around the world and will also be used for training of new staff, agents and distributors. As the Chair of Governors at UTC Swindon, RotaVal’s MD Beverley Ford is a strong advocate of workplace based education and is thrilled that the students are going to be a part of this project. We are looking forward to seeing and exhibiting the finished product next summer.
