Valvitalia Group has been awarded a new contract worth approximately $30 million to supply valves for the Desert Southwest project, one of the most significant energy infrastructure projects currently under development in the Southwest United States. The order involves the production of 94 48-inch valves, which will be entirely designed and manufactured at the industrial site in Rivanazzano Terme (PV). Delivery is scheduled for 2027.
The acquisition of this contract contributes to the growth of the Group’s order backlog, which has risen to approximately €263 million, and further strengthens Valvitalia’s positioning in the Americas, currently the Group’s primary destination market. Overall, orders from North and South America account for over 37% of total bookings, confirming the continent’s strategic importance for business development.
“This award is an important recognition of the work we’ve done over the years to consolidate our presence in the Americas and strengthen relationships with leading energy sector operators,” commented Massimiliano Ruggeri, Executive Vice President of Valvitalia. “The US continues to be a key market for Valvitalia and offers exciting development opportunities, supported by significant investments in energy infrastructure. At the same time, we are continuing our growth in South America, where we see favorable prospects for business expansion. The quality of the opportunities and ongoing dialogue with leading clients allow us to look with confidence to the evolution of our presence in the region.”
Valvitalia’s shareholders’ meeting and Board of Directors also renewed the Group’s governing bodies for the three-year period 2026-2028, confirming the continuity of the governance that has accompanied the development and growth of recent years. Salvatore Ruggeri was confirmed as President, Massimiliano Ruggeri as Executive Vice President, and Andrea Forzi as CEO.
