VAG-Valves UK Commercial Director – Wilson McPhail said ‘This is a great achievement for VAG-Valves UK as it opens the door for other VAG products to be sold into Yorkshire Water. As the nominated supplier of Resilient Seated Gate Valves, we are also the preferred supplier for ‘Non-Framework’ items such as Non Return Valves, Air Valves or Control Valves. This is an excellent opportunity to promote the full range of VAG products within the Yorkshire water area and increase our market penetration.
