Our 80th anniversary was marked with a full-page article in the BVAA's Valve User magazine.
Langley Alloys is a member of the BVAA (British Valve & Actuator Association), which helps us support the industry in which so many of our customers are active. Valve manufacturers use our portfolio of high-strength, high-performance alloys - duplex, super duplex, high-strength austenitics and nickel alloys - for valve bodies, stems and trim.
80 years of Langley Alloys
The Autumn edition carried a full-page article on our 80th anniversary. Langley Alloys traces its roots back to 1938, formed from a merger of High Duty Alloys and Hawker Sidley. Initially focused on novel copper alloys used predominantly in naval and aerospace applications, we are perhaps best known for the Hiduron® and Ferralium® families of high-performance alloys, now used in many demanding oil and gas applications. Ferralium® is the original super duplex stainless steel and still retains superior properties compared with alternative alloys.
The Langley Alloys of today is a very different business to the one formed in 1938. We have relocated from West London (the "Langley" in Langley Alloys relates to the original location near Slough), but retain the original company name, ownership of unique trademarked alloys, and a track record of supporting customers with demanding applications. Continued investment in equipment, stock and people keeps the business relevant.
