LVSA Group: First in Africa with API600 Certification

LVSA Group Founded in 2003 began primarily as an importer and distributor of industrial valves, pipes and fittings. We soon grew to be the largest stockists in Africa. It has always been the vision of our CEO, Sagren Pillay to manufacture our own range of valves. Mr Pillay recognised the need for local manufacturing facilities in South Africa and Africa to rival global competitors. In 2018, LVSA Group began its journey to design and manufacture our own range of industrial valves. On the 14th of December 2021 we did not just achieve our goal we exceeded it. LVSA Group is proud to be the first company in Africa to be granted an API-600 Licence and Certification. 

“Each day, the oil and natural gas industry depends on equipment to produce, refine and distribute its products. The equipment used is some of the most technologically advanced available in the search for oil and gas and allows the industry to operate in an environmentally safe manner. Designed for manufacturers of production, drilling, and refinery equipment, the API Monogram Program verifies that manufacturers are operating in compliance with industry standards.” (American Petroleum Institute, 2022).
