KVI team inside the Kata Valve (Group) facilities, August 2026
Factory Visit · August 2026

A journey inside the factory that builds KATA.

In August 2026, PT Kaitai Valve Indonesia traveled to China for a full week inside the Kata Valve (Group) plants in Shanghai and Wenzhou — walking the foundry, machining, assembly and test floors behind every KATA valve we sell in Indonesia.

01 · The Mission

Why we went: to see, with our own eyes, what we sell.

KATA valves carry our name in Indonesia — so before asking Indonesian operators to trust them, we walked the factory floor and verified the story ourselves.

The visit had one purpose: build deep, first-hand knowledge of Kata Valve (Group) Co., Ltd. and its products, so KVI can sell them better in Indonesia — and turn what we saw into real evidence for customer presentations and vendor qualification dossiers (Pertamina ABL/PAL, SKK Migas CIVD, EPC approved lists).

Over the week we met the KVG team at both sites, walked the production lines stage by stage, and asked the hard questions — capacity, foundry ownership, testing, lead times, documentation, and how KATA supports KVI's market.

01Verify the claims we make: in-house foundry, vertical integration, real production capacity.
02Watch testing live — hydrostatic, pneumatic, and the −196 °C cryogenic rig.
03Collect the documents that win tenders: certificates, reference lists, and support for Indonesian vendor registration.
04Build the KVI–KVG relationship: commercial terms, lead times, exclusivity, and the support channel for Indonesian customers.
02 · Two Sites, One Group

A week across two sites.

Days at the group's headquarters — strategy, products, commercial. Days on the factory floor — manufacturing, quality control, live testing.
