HISTORY HISTORY MISSION CODE OF ETHICS QUALITY AND CERTIFICATIONS ENVIRONMENT Previous Next Previous Next VRV HISTORY The VRV Group was founded in 1956 by three artisans who worked in a small Milan-based workshop that dealt with maintenance and repair within the pharmaceutical industry. In 1974 the company started exploring the concept of expanding the company outside its scope of application, looking at maintenance and repair outside the pharmaceutical industry which was what the company catered to till then. Within just a year, the company began to take on a new shape and interest started flowing in from clients… it was time to move out of Milan to Ornago, where the rest of the development of the company manufacturing facility was due to take place. In 1975, the first 3 pieces of cryogenic equipment, completely manufactured by VRV were sold and then there was no turning back for the Cryogenic Division. After this order, 80 pieces of cryogenic equipment were manufactured, in line with the vision to start manufacturing on an industrial scale and this is the policy that is followed in the Cryogenic Division even today. Things were also active on other fronts. The late 1970’s was a tumultuous period for the Italian economy with economic growth slowing down and the political turmoil and the oil crisis of 1979. In contrast, in 1978 at VRV the first large pressure vessel for a caprolactam plant was manufactured and sent to the USSR (now Russia). After this, the Energy & Petrochemical Division continued to manufacture tailor-made, medium and high pressure equipment like reactors, heat exchangers, columns and special vessels. Over 90% of these are exported across the globe today. In 1985 VRV ventured into yet another business and developed the Flash Technology. This became the cornerstone of the Process and Equipment business line which today specializes in the design, manufacture and start-up of complete units for drying, reaction and granulation of products under different forms. Today the VRV Group is a diversified multinational corporation made up of several companies with highly automated, purpose-built facilities for the design and manufacture of pressure equipment, namely: VRV S.r.L., Ornago, Italy CRYO DIFFUSION S.A.S., Léry, France VRV Asia Pacific Pvt.
