Azbil
Official website: www.azbil.com ↗Azbil, the company formerly known as Yamatake, traces its roots to 1906 and is one of Japan’s landmark automation houses. Its valve business pairs globe control valves with the AVP series of smart valve positioners, which are widely deployed across Japanese-built plants and exported worldwide.
The AVP positioner line — compact, HART-capable and known for reliable commissioning — is the element most engineers meet first, often retrofitted onto third-party actuators. The valve side spans general-purpose globes and specialty bodies, integrated with Azbil’s broader measurement and control instrumentation offer.
