With branches in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Klerksdorp, Ultra Control Valves is a specialist valve engineering company supplying the water, sewage and mining industries across Southern Africa.
The company designs and locally manufactures severe-duty control valves for high-head pressure reduction, flow control, surge protection and air management – hardware built to keep working in silt, grit and mine water rather than in laboratory conditions.
Ultra operates a hybrid manufacturing model at its Johannesburg facility, delivering custom severe-duty valves in six weeks against the 20 week lead times typical of imported equipment.
Leveraging his extensive experience in the valve industry, founder and CEO Peter Telle hosts an accredited water hammer seminar carrying one continuing professional development point.
He is also presenting at the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) /Electra Seminar Theatre on water saving on mines and the energy cost of unnecessary water sent underground.
