Weir Minerals announce the complete integration of Delta Industrial™ valves manufacturing operations to its state-of-the-art facility in St. Louis/Missouri. The integration delivers significant benefits to mining operators across the globe purchasing Delta™ Industrial valves. Before the integration, the St. Louis facility solely manufactured Lewis® pumps and valves, one of the industry leaders in sulphuric acid industries, for more than 126 years. The strategic decision was made to relocate the manufacturing of Delta Industrial™ valves to help accelerate the growth of both brands, increase production and streamline processes to ensure all valves are manufactured to the highest of standards.
