Samson ringo

Samson Ringo currently operates two production plants working simultaneously to cover its full range of valves and engineered systems.

 

The Empresarium plant, with 13,000 m² of manufacturing area, houses the traditional production lines, including assembly, welding, non-destructive testing, and testing facilities for carbon steel, stainless steel, and nuclear and industrial applications.

 

In 2025, the new plant located in the named Parque Tecnológico del Reciclado or PTR was inaugurated. An 8,000 m² manufacturing complex featuring state-of-the-art technology and an optimized industrial layout. This significantly more modern facility integrates dedicated areas for welding, machining, inspection, advanced testing, instrumentation laboratories, painting, packaging, and an intelligent raw-material warehouse.

 

Both plants are connected through coordinated processes and efficient logistics flows, enabling flexible and scalable production aligned with the highest standards of industrial quality and
safety.
