Allvalves Gains Extension of Exclusivity on Sun Yeh Electric Actuators

Following a very successful initial 2 year period, Allvalves Online have secured a two year exclusivity extension with the global electric actuator manufacturer Sun Yeh.

Having secured the initial 2 year exclusivity back in 2013, Allvalves have worked tirelessly to re-establish the Sun Yeh brand in the UK and European markets and the extension confirms the success of this work.

During a factory visit in 2014, Allvalves were honoured to have access to the President of Sun Yeh, this allowed Allvalves to feed back the needs of the European market to him; and true to Sun Yeh’s pursuit of the perfect solution, ATEX versions, multi-turn and failsafe functionality should now all be available towards the end of 2016.

New failsafe electric actuators will initially cover torque outputsfrom 50Nm to 4500Nm in the popular OM2-OM13 range, and the high volume 35Nm OM1 will be available with a battery back-up failsafe system soon afterwards. Allvalves’ biggest Sun Yeh order to date was for close to Åí100,000 worth of mechanical spring return actuators, supplied via Allvalves’ German partner.

The quality and reliability of the Sun Yeh, and a globally recognised name, has helped Allvalves establish partners in the Netherlands, Poland and South Africa, all resulting from initially visiting the Allvalves stand at Valve World, and thanks go to the BVAA for their help and support at Valve World.

Sun Yeh, ever keen to help find solutions to problems, provided Allvalves with a 3 position actuator to drive a 3 way ball valve in 3 seconds, something that was not available at a commercially viable price until then, and helped Allvalves secure a contract with an important OEM.

Adam Chapman, Managing Director of Allvalves is pleased to have secured the extension to the exclusivity and commented: “We have worked hard for 2 years to re-establish the Sun Yeh brand. Many of us had forgotten the Sun Yeh actuator but once we were able to offer it again it is an easy sell as people know it is a ‘fit and forget’ actuator. The range is comprehensive, the product is robust, durable and reliable and with housing options from aluminium to stainless steel, is ideal for a very wide range of applications.

Sun Yeh’s interest in and desire to look at bespoke solutions is a massive ‘plus’. In 2016 Sun Yeh will relocate a short distance to their hugely impressive, brand new purpose built facility in Taiwan, and we very much look forward to being part of the celebrations.”

Allvalves Online Ltd are the exclusive distributor for Sun Yeh electric actuators in the UK and Germany.
