Warex valves are since more than 50 years a paragon of reliable and reasonable flaps. World-wide WAREX Valves are used in the most different process arrangements problem-free and successfully and have developed themselves into an undisputed quality notion. The origin of WAREX Valve GmbH goes back to 1964: This was when Friedhelm Dirkskötter founded the Dirkskötter Armaturen GmbH & Co. in Senden, Westphalia for the manufacture of shut-off, throttle, and control valves. The company started with the development and manufacture of centrally seated shut-off valves in wafer and double flanged models, with sealing sleeves vulcanised completely into the valve housing. Because of close technological and design collaboration with firms including Chemische Werke Hüls, the plant builders Uhde, CEAG, Mannesmann-Demag and the container manufacturer Thyssen, the rapid growth of Dirkskötter Armaturen GmbH & Co was almost inevitable.
