History of Malbranque |
 |
 |
Marcel Malbranque founded a valve manufacturing plant in 1949 in Illies France approx 20 km from Lille. Very quickly the strategy of the company is oriented towards the Oil & Gas industries and the famous logo MM appears on all the valves designed and produced by the company. Malbranque was absorbed successively by Schlumberger, Natixis bank, Econosto Group and then Technor in 2003. When the Flowtech division of Technor was established as Valco Group in 2009, Malbranque became member of Valco Group.
Malbranque is recognised worldwide for the quality of the gate, globe and check valves, from 2" to 66" in diameters, from 150 to 2500 lbs ratings. Malbranque is also producing well head equipments including very high pressure choke valves and x-mas trees for very severe sour gas services.
Special alloys and steels are used for the various applications in the Oil & Gas markets, both upstream and downstream (refineries and LNG plants), and the Energy market for high pressure and high temperature uses.
