OMB Valves has promoted Victor Rodriguez to global market and applications leader for power plants products.

Rodriguez gained more than 30 years of experience in valves technical sales, marketing and instrumentation engineering, initially in the oil and gas industry, but for the past 15 years, he has specialized in critical valve applications in the power industry.

“Despite the oil and gas industry having very interesting and complex applications, where to find the best valve solution is difficult. Critical applications related to high-pressure steam and water condensate are very challenging," Rodriguez said. "With end users seeking to extend periods between turnaround, I found the perfect partner in OMB and Vogt Valves to successfully achieve those goals.

The world class level of valve engineering allows the company to provide the perfect solution for critical applications with innovative valve design, proper materials, performance, and durability, Rodriguez added.

"Having great support with expertise and products, I will lead our efforts worldwide to become a key player in the power sector," he said.

Rodriguez joined Vogt Valves operations in Stafford, Texas, two years ago.
