PJ Valves pride themselves on continuous improvement maintaining that over the last seven years major and minor developments have provided fundamentally different and better service than they did in 2005 at the time of their previous rebrand. They therefore felt it was the right moment to update their corporate branding.
The main areas that they have developed over the last seven years have included; Project specification knowledge- developing a ‘’Valve Masterclass’’ training program, setting up supply chain options to suit complex projects as each project needs a carefully selected, appropriate supply chain. Cruically, they selct factories considering not only the type and complexity of the valves or actuators, but also the current factory capacity loading and performance.
They have also focused on the size and development of their team , employing 75% more staff than they did in 2005 and retaining and developing their workforce. Similarly, they have also evolved their Quality Management System to reflect the changing challenges of project valve supply and integrated their Quality Management principles and procedures within their business systems.
They state that they have invested significantly in the team who manage their orders to ensure that both product and documentation supply runs successfully. Recent developments include an order management facility in Italy which helps manage their Italian factories in native Italian and automated supplier performance reporting that allows them to select and manage sub-suppliers more effectively.
They also now have a Houston team which allows them to apply the knowledge built through the UK North Sea experience to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. The Italian office is thought to improve their supplier connections and performance.
These international locations and staff have widened the experience and knowledge within the company which in turn enables them to better serve their markets.
