Rotork is the world’s best-known electric valve actuator manufacturer, founded in 1957 in Bath, England. Its IQ range of intelligent part-turn and multi-turn actuators set the standard for modulating and on-off electric duty across oil and gas, water and power.

The portfolio spans electric actuators (IQ/IQT), fluid-power ranges, and gearboxes, plus networked control and monitoring — making Rotork the default specification wherever mains-powered modulating actuation is wanted.
