Established in 1998, AC Valves (ACV) is a proudly South African manufacturer and supplier of high-quality knife gate valves and actuated valve solutions for the mining, industrial and municipal water sectors.

With over 27 years of technical expertise and hands-on industry experience, the company has built a strong reputation for reliability, durability and responsive service. All ACV-brand valves are engineered and assembled at the company’s facility in Wadeville, Germiston, where strict quality control, material traceability, and application-driven design stand at the core of every product.

This local manufacturing capability allows ACV to maintain competitive lead times, offer customisable technical solutions, and ensure that components and spare parts remain readily available throughout the product lifecycle.

ACV specialises in a range of RF wafer knife gate valves, soft-rubber lined, polyurethane lined, FBE-coated and flanged knife gate valves designed for light to heavy-duty slurry, water, wastewater and process applications.

The company also manufactures complementary linear pneumatic actuators and offers valve refurbishment services that extend the life of existing plant assets, providing customers with long-term operational value and reduced maintenance costs. With a knowledgeable technical sales team and a complete in-house support structure, ACV works closely with customers to understand process requirements, assist with product specification, provide installation guidance, and ensure reliable ongoing performance.

The company’s approach is rooted in engineering integrity, customer partnership, and consistent after-sales support. ACV has grown into a trusted partner across South Africa, Africa and global markets — including North and South America, Turkey and Russia — supplying high-quality valve and fluid control solutions to mines, industrial plants, municipalities and engineering contractors. Our commitment to quality, reliability and long-term service support continues to position ACV as a preferred supplier worldwide.
