Established in Japan in 1950, TLV has grown to become a world authority in steam engineering products and services. TLV now counts companies in 12 different countries and offers products through over 100 distributors worldwide. 

Since its founding around 70 years ago, TLV's goal has been to produce dependable, long-lasting steam traps. One early outstanding success was the A3, a thermodynamic steam trap offering an amazing 10 times the durability of previous products.

Behind the A3 was the concept of the 'Trouble Less Valve', from which the company name originated. From this solid foundation, the line of products and services has continued to expand, and TLV has become a Steam Specialist Company - a recognized leader in the steam-engineering field.

From casting to machining, assembly and more, TLV prides itself in having created a highly accurate, quality-driven production system.
