ABOUT US

Aqua Control Valves is a family-owned business based in Belgaum, India, founded in 1990 by Sharad Pai. What started with a fascination for valves quickly grew into a specialized manufacturer of high-quality ball valves. The company's trajectory soared with the arrival of Chetan Pai, Sharad's son. Chetan, with his engineering background, significantly expanded production capacity tenfold, modernized facilities, and diversified the product line to include valves for the real estate sector. A key innovation was the development of durable stainless steel valves, which swiftly became a game-changer across industrial and real estate segments. Driven by global ambitions, Aqua Control Valves secured ISO certification, adopted 3D modeling for design, and drastically increased its turnover. Our commitment to quality is further demonstrated by a state-of-the-art in-house testing facility for API fire safety standards. A significant milestone was being chosen as an OEM by a prestigious 160-year-old American conglomerate, beating 33 competitors. This win highlights our dedication to exceptional quality, cost-efficiency, and robust systems. Currently, we're expanding with a new, advanced facility in Waghawde, Karnataka, aiming to be a one-stop-shop for all valve requirements.
