VALVES & FLOW CONTROL
THE VALSTEAM ADCA PROJECT
VALSTEAM
A STRONG PASSION FOR DEVELOPING
EQUIPMENT AND FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS
The Valsteam ADCA project has been in
the market of steam equipment for more
than 35 years. Valsteam ADCA started as an
industrial plant for pipeline and steam boiler
house contractors. Already building pressure
vessels and auxiliary equipment in-house,
Valsteam ADCA has grown up to become
steam equipment and valve manufacturers,
using the knowledge acquired along the
years, and can now assure the complete
production cycle: design, machining,
welding, assembly, tests, quality and
packaging for a very wide range of products.
Right from the start, the family owned
Portuguese company had a strong
passion for developing equipment and for
solving problems. Today, Valsteam ADCA
has two production facilities with a total
manufacturing capacity of 22 000 square
meters, located in a small village in the
ocean side of Portugal, and are currently
growing again, expanding their main
production facility. The team today consists
of almost 100 people that together drive this
Portuguese caravel along the five continents
and more than 80 countries, with the same
ambition their ancestors were driven by: to
reach more and to give new worlds to the
world!
The company started small, with its
first manufactured product being the
thermodynamic steam trap, followed by
float and thermostatic steam traps, pressure
operated pumps, humidity separators, and
heat exchangers. Up to now, the company
consolidated a very wide range of products
and solutions for steam and other industrial
gases and liquids, present in the process
industry. Today, the company stands as
a “one stop shop”, with more than 6.000
different products and more than 15.000
product parts for all kind of industries.
From standard and non-standard series
to tailor-made products, Valsteam ADCA
is one of the European companies with
the largest range of products, which can
be divided into six sections: steam traps,
pressure reducing valves, control valves,
pipeline ancillaries, special construction
equipment and Adcapure, the hygienic/
sanitary line, a complete range on its own,
specially dedicated to industries with high
purity standards, such as the food, chemical,
cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

but kept the best that a family owned
business can have: agility in developing
new products, flexibility in production and
proximity to staff and clients. The requests
of customers for different special products
meet in the company the willingness and
determination to accept new challenges,
which is evident in the company’s vision
to always look to and invest in state of the
