Danos acquires Panel Specialists
Koso Kent Introl’ s control valve range
Danos has announced the acquisition of substantially all assets of Panel Specialists Inc., expanding its technical services in automation and panel fabrication. The move also strengthens Danos’ pressure valve repair services by adding VR and T / O certifications from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors.
“ This acquisition is a significant step forward in delivering even greater value to our customers,” said Paul Danos, CEO of Danos.“ By combining our strengths, we can enhance the quality, reliability, and scope of our services, ensuring customers receive the best possible solutions for their evolving needs.”
Subsea valve manufacturer KOSO Kent Introl( KKI) has announced the successful completion of a comprehensive development and qualification programme for a brand-new range of subsea control valves- is the Series 1275 Dynamic Subsea Control Valve Range.
This milestone marks a significant leap forward for subsea processing, carbon capture, utilisation and storage, as well as hydrogen storage applications. These are sectors where precise and reliable control have historically been difficult to achieve. Until recently, subsea systems often relied on relatively crude choke mechanisms to regulate process flows. While functional, these solutions lacked the accuracy and control necessary for optimised subsea processing, resulting in system-wide compromises and reduced operational efficiency. In critical applications, such as subsea separation, boosting, CCUS injection, and hydrogen storage, this lack of precision could limit the overall effectiveness of the subsea infrastructure.
Fukui and ClassNK sign MoU
Fukui Seisakusho Co., Ltd. and ClassNK have signed an MoU for joint consideration of ultrahigh
pressure safety relief valves designed for use in hydrogen dual-fuel engines and hosted a
signing ceremony at the Gastech 2025 exhibition held in Milan, Italy. Both parties agreed in 2023 to jointly conduct a study for the installation of safety relief valves for cargo tanks of liquefied hydrogen carriers on actual ships and signed an MoU during Gastech 2023. As a result of this study, a type of approval certificate for the PILOT-type low pressure safety relief valve( PSL-MD type) was issued this year. Based on this achievement, they have now agreed to carry out joint consideration of ultra-high pressure safety relief valves for hydrogen dual-fuel engines that
can meet advanced technical requirements( material resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, sealing performance, etc.) needed for hydrogen fuel supply systems. The roles of each party are as follows: Fukui: Development of RPS-type( high pressure compatible) safety relief valves for hydrogen dual-fuel engines; ClassNK: Review of the valves based on prescribed rules upon receiving an application for type approval. Through this collaboration under the MoU, both parties will contribute to the social implementation of propulsion systems using hydrogen as a fuel.
Triton Valves 50th anniversary
Triton Valves Ltd, the Indian manufacturer of automotive tyre valves and an engineering partner to industries worldwide, commemorated its 50th anniversary with a grand celebration. The event, marking five decades of pioneering excellence, innovation, and resilience, was attended by key dignitaries,
partners, and industry leaders from the automotive sector.“ Triton’ s journey of 50 years is not just a corporate milestone; it is the story of dreams turned into reality through resilience and vision. From the founder’ s pioneering dream in 1975, to overcoming challenges, to building a company that today stands as a proud
symbol of‘ Made in India’, this has been a collective effort of our
employees, partners, and wellwishers,” said Anuradha Gokarn.
