UK representation since 2022. PCT has represented Richards Industrials brands in the UK since 2022, expanding our long-standing pressure and flow portfolio with sanitary, industrial and fractional‑flow valves from Jordan Valve, Steriflow, Steriflow Food & Beverage and LowFlow.
Richards Industrials is the parent company of eight specialist product lines spanning regulators, control valves, steam traps, ball valves, instrument valves/manifolds and advanced back pressure solutions. The group serves chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food processing markets (among others), with in house machining, assembly, testing and a global rep network focused on quality, lead time reduction and responsive service.
Founded in 1958 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Jordan Valve designs and manufactures innovative regulators and control valves—from utility and chemical service to high pressure applications in power, refining, hydrocarbon and natural gas industries. Jordan is known for its sliding gate seat technology and a mission to deliver lower operating costs, optimized performance and longer equipment life.
Our Jordan portfolio on the page combines self operated regulators and compact wafer style control valves for industrial utilities and process control. It includes the:
Steriflow focuses on sanitary pressure and back pressure regulators, control valves and steam solutions for biopharma and pharmaceutical processes, backed by ISO 9001:2015 quality systems and active participation in sector associations. Their quality approach emphasizes risk analysis, streamlined processes and total team commitment to customer satisfaction.
Leveraging Steriflow’s life science expertise, Steriflow Food & Beverage provides sanitary and utility side valves for food, beverage, dairy, health & beauty production. The range covers sanitary pressure regulators, steam traps, control and constant modulating valves, diaphragm and safety valves, with solutions aimed at plant, filtered, clean and pure steam services.
While our current product tiles are under the Steriflow umbrella, the listed:
The above directly map to Food & Beverage duties (process steam, clean in place, carbonation and gas service). This gives UK producers access to 3 A oriented sanitary hardware for hygienic processing, with the same designs and certifications trusted in life science environments.
LowFlow specializes in fractional flow control for OEMs, laboratories and pilot plants—offering precise, repeatable control of liquids, gases and steam with quick change trims and broad Cv/characteristic options per line size. The portfolio spans pneumatic/electric control valves and high pressure/low flow regulators for demanding micro flow duties.
For micro flow and pilot scale control, our page features the:
Together they cover fractional Cv duties, elevated pressures and wide turndown—ideal for dosing skids, sampling, gas research, hydrogen pilot rigs and other critical low flow applications.
