​Introduction​

For European procurement managers and engineers, sourcing industrial valves that balance ​quality, ​cost-efficiency, and ​supply chain reliability​ is critical. At Cangzhou Co-Win Metal Products Co., Ltd. (http://www.cowinvalve.com), we specialize in manufacturing ​1PC ball valves​ that meet the rigorous demands of European industries – from chemical plants to HVAC systems.

This article explains why over 200 European clients trust us as their strategic valve partner and how our solutions address common procurement pain points.

​**Section 1: What is a 1PC Ball Valve?**​

A 1PC (one-piece) ball valve features a single forged body design, making it ​lighter, ​more compact, and ​leak-resistant​ compared to multi-piece valves. Key applications include:

• ​Industrial process control​ (gas, water, chemicals)
• ​Building services​ (HVAC, plumbing)
• ​Energy and utilities​

**Why European Buyers Prefer 1PC Designs:**​

• ​Lower maintenance costs: Reduced risk of leakage at connection points.
• ​Space-saving: Ideal for tight installations in urban infrastructure projects.
• ​Corrosion resistance: Critical for harsh environments like offshore platforms.

​Section 2: 5 Reasons to Source 1PC Ball Valves from Co-Win​

​1. Compliance with European Standards​

Our 1PC ball valves are certified to:

• ​ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management)
• ​CE Marking​ (PED 2014/68/EU)
• ​ATEX Directive​ for explosive atmospheres (on request)

We also provide ​EN 10204-3.1 material certificates​ and ​pressure test reports​ for full traceability.

​2. Cost Savings Without Compromising Quality​

By optimizing our CNC machining processes, we offer ​30-50% lower pricing​ than European-made valves while maintaining:

• ​Body materials: ASTM A351 CF8M (316 stainless steel), CF8 (304), brass.

• ​72-hour delivery​ for standard DN15-DN100 valves.
• ​Custom packaging​ with bilingual (English + local language) manuals.

​4. Customization for Niche Applications​

Our engineering team supports:

• ​Specialized coatings: Xylan, epoxy, or galvanized finishes.
• ​Non-standard sizes: Up to DN 200 (8 inches).
• ​Modified connections: NPT, BSPP, or flange adapters.

​5. Dedicated EU Technical Support​

Our Brussels-based team provides:

• ​24/7 multilingual assistance​ (English, German, French).
• ​3D CAD models and datasheets​ for seamless integration.
• ​On-site troubleshooting​ (available for bulk orders).

​Section 3: Case Study – Solving a German Client’s Valve Failure Crisis​

A Munich-based chemical plant faced frequent leaks in their 2PC ball valves due to vibration stress. After switching to Co-Win’s 1PC stainless steel valves:

• ​**Leak incidents dropped by 92%**​ within 6 months.
• ​Maintenance costs reduced by €18,000/year.
• ​Customized actuator compatibility​ improved automation efficiency.
