Brussels, June 28, 2023 – Aliaxis SA, a world leader enabling access to water and energy through innovative fluid management solutions, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of the manufacturing division of the U.S. based Valencia Company (Valencia). Valencia’s teams will join Aliaxis’ North American IPEX business, further strengthening the company’s position in the USA.
