The recent step initiated by the Valves Business Group of L&T is towards product rationalization across manufacturing plants.
The products supplied by L&T are manufactured at our facilities in India – Audco India Limited (AIL) and China – L&T Jiangsu Valves Co Ltd, Yancheng (LTJVCL).
Our independent manufacturing facility in China, addresses the global requirements for the complete range of standard commodity carbon steel valves. Major end-users and EPC contractors have approved the supply of L&T brand of valves from China.
To align our manufacturing with industry demands and further strengthen our supply-chain logistics, we have initiated product rationalization across the manufacturing plants. The manufacture of Cast Carbon Steel Gate, Globe and Check valves in sizes 2 inch to 8 inch, ASME Cl 150 and Cl 300 rating, in body material of ASTM A216 Gr WCB as well as ASTM A352 Gr LCC (or LCB) have been suspended in Audco India Limited.
The above range of carbon steel valves will be available from our facilities in China (LTJVCL).
Valves in other material of construction such as Low Chrome Alloy steel, Stainless steel and other High Alloys in all sizes will continue to be manufactured and supplied from AIL facilities in India.
L&T as a brand has always strived to offer better customer service, and this initiative to rationalize our product offerings will certainly help us further leverage our commitment to serve customers. We will be pleased to clarify any queries with regard to this announcement.
