Reliable water supply starts with the right valve
Reliable water supply starts with the right valve
Brewing your morning coffee, filling your water bottle before a workout, or rinsing the vegetables for dinner. It's so routine that we rarely stop to think about what makes it possible. But behind every drop of water that reaches our homes lies a complex system of pipes and valves that forms the invisible backbone of modern society. The fact that these systems work smoothly, year after year, is no coincidence – choosing the right components is crucial to getting water where it needs to go.
Fucoli-Somepal – quality and precision since 1946
The Portuguese family company Fucoli Somepal has been known since 1946 for manufacturing valves of the highest quality. What makes them unique is that they do everything under one roof – from casting and coating to assembly and quality testing, every step of the process takes place in their own factory. This gives them full control over manufacturing, ensuring that every product meets a high standard and exceeds industry requirements.
Manufacturing takes place entirely in Europe, in accordance with strict standards for water and wastewater systems and using 100% renewable energy. This makes every valve an ethical choice – you know exactly where and how it's made, with minimal environmental impact.
Environmentally conscious choices for municipalities and industry
Fucoli Somepal's valves are a reliable choice for water utilities, contractors and industry, both in terms of function and environmental responsibility. With a market-leading 15-year warranty, Fucoli gives its customers confidence that their valves will last at least 50 years underground – a decisive factor in an industry where long-term thinking matters.
They offer a wide range of valves for the water industry, from gate valves and butterfly valves to service valves in various sizes and connections. Beyond technical quality, the valves have a smart design – blue valves for water mains and red for wastewater – which makes work in the field easier and minimises errors.
What makes the valves unique?
Fucoli's valves are designed for durability and feature a unique shut-off function along with extra strong corrosion protection. They undergo a GSK-certified treatment where the metal is hot-dip galvanised to withstand rust and cope with harsh environments. Quality is ensured through regular third-party testing, and thanks to production in Europe we can offer fast delivery, even for custom-made valves, manufactured using 100% renewable energy. This also allows full control over the entire production process – from concept and design to final testing.
As Fucoli Somepal's agent in the Nordics, we at IBECO hold a large stock, where the most sought-after valve sizes are always available for fast delivery. Need to quickly replace a valve or stock up for a larger project? You can count on delivery within just a few days.
Future-proof valves for safe communities
Fucoli's valves are used in everything from municipal projects to major contracts across Europe, where reliability and environmentally friendly choices play an important role. When problems such as a leaking pipe occur, Fucoli's valves make it possible to quickly shut off the flow and save both time and resources.
Whether it's enjoying a warm shower or filling a water bottle, it's the right technology that makes this possible. Fucoli Somepal is behind the small but crucial details that keep everything running smoothly and safely.
