As a leading provider of severe service control valve solutions, Control Components Inc (CCI) develops, designs, and manufactures a wide range of valves for use in the power industry, oil and gas industry, and pulp and paper plants worldwide.
Since 1967, the company has forged a proven track record for solving customers' valve application problems with its unique DRAG technology.
The strategic acquisition of Sulzer's valve and control systems in 1997 and Sweden-based BTG Valves in 2001 enhanced CCI's position as the market leader. This growth also allows the company to further its commitment to meet customers' performance needs on a global level with increased cost savings and shorter lead times.
CCI utilises its resources not only in design engineering and technical support, but also in sales, project management, quality assurance, procurement, and manufacturing.
The company's modern and efficient facilities in California, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, Japan, and South Korea create global manufacturing and service locations to serve every customer's needs. Sales representatives and CCI's technical staff are eager to offer expert help with specific applications.
CCI was created in 1961 by Richard Self, who started the company when he saw a need for valves that could handle very high-pressure liquid hydrogen and oxygen.
It was during his research that the right-angle tortuous flow path of the CCI DRAG valve trim was conceived.
The industry acknowledged this concept as a "great leap forward" in valve design, and in the 1980s, the Instrument Society of America recognised Self for his contribution to the advancement of flow control technology.
