AMPO Poyam Valves reorganised its Idiazabal, Spain valve plant using a LEAN layout, bought seven new test benches capable of high-pressure testing and a new logistics warehouse, and invested in an oxygen-service clean room and an upstream valve test bench. The changes followed a 2019 expansion of machining and weld overlay operations.

Ampo plans to spend about EUR 3 million on upgrades to its valve plant in Idiazabal, Spain, including new high-pressure test benches. The company also says it invests roughly EUR 0.5 to 1 million a year at the site.
