They say the best inventions start with a sudden flash of illumination. That’s exactly what happened when A.K. Velan first came up with the idea for a new steam trap a few months after he arrived in Canada in 1949 from Soviet-dominated Czechoslovakia. More than six decades later, that same innovative and entrepreneurial spirit continues to flourish in a company that has a proven portfolio of top-quality valves installed in industrial applications worldwide.
