CMO

The Spanish brand CMO (CMO Valves) is a leading international expert in the design, development, and manufacture of high-tech knife gate valves, penstocks, and specialized flow control instrumentation. The company offers advanced engineering solutions that ensure reliable isolation of heavy, viscous, and abrasive fluids across all key sectors of the global industrial market. The enterprise was founded in 1993 by a team of experienced valve design engineers in Tolosa, Gipuzkoa, Spain, starting its history with a deep focus on solutions for the pulp and paper industry. Today, the international corporate group operates an extensive global footprint with active subsidiaries, representative branches, and commercial offices in more than 70 countries across all continents. The brand's manufacturing facilities are strategically distributed worldwide, including its main headquarter plant in Spain alongside specialized facilities in the UK, USA, and Brazil, ensuring strict internal quality control and prompt worldwide logistics.The brand's products and services are structured into four key industry business segments:— Water & Infrastructure: comprehensive flow and penstock configurations for municipal wastewater treatment, dams, and desalination plants.— Mining & Slurry Processing: heavy-duty, maximum wear-resistant knife gate valves engineered for mining slurry, tailing handling, and mineral enrichment processing.— Chemical & Power Generation: specialized corrosion-resistant and extreme temperature assemblies for petrochemical lines and electricity utilities.— Bulk Materials Handling: sealed gate valves custom-designed for pneumatic transport, silos, cement plants, and loose bulk media pipelines.The product portfolio features A, AB, UB, and X series knife gate valves, channel penstocks, butterfly valves, check valves, as well as pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical actuator systems. The main technical advantage lies in the precision cast body geometry and self-cleaning blade profile that entirely eliminates valve clogging when processing dense or fibrous slurries. CMO products guarantee outstanding operational safety, total bi-directional tight sealing (Class A rating), and fire-safe integrity. Advanced wear-resistant polymer seals combined with optimized flow path fluid dynamics empower enterprises to minimize pressure drops across pipelines and lower general operational costs. All manufacturing assets are certified according to the latest global quality standards, including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, with its hazardous area ranges complying with strict ATEX and CE/PED safety directives. CMO stands as a worldwide benchmark for technical durability, European engineering excellence, and uncompromising reliability in heavy fluid management. By choosing this brand, enterprises secure long-lasting components for sustainable industrial operations.Facts & Figures:— 1993 — year of corporate foundation in Tolosa, Gipuzkoa, Spain.— Over 70 countries — global footprint of direct commercial distribution and corporate support offices.— 100% total bi-directional hermetic sealing when managing viscous or severe abrasive media.— Total certified compliance matrix with ISO 9001, CE, PED, and hazardous zone ATEX directives.
