With over 7 million residents, massive tourist traffic and some of world's most active ports, Hong Kong's power generators are under tremendous pressure to ensure ongoing electricity supplies and to avoid power outages. The selection of our valves by Hong Kong power company is an encouraging endorsement on the reliability of our ceramic products' quality."
