ATI customizes valve automation solutions to meet our customers’ specific needs. Almost 20 years ago, our story began with proprietary technology in customizing linear actuators. Those signature series actuators helped ATI build a strong reputation in the flow control industry. Paying attention to engineering specs became our core competency.  Since that time, ATI has expanded our customization to include automation solutions when power is not readily available, controls for fast speeds, modulations or special conditions, and actuators for the pipeline industry. We have the experienced technicians, as part of ATI FrontLine Services, to repair or provide startup for on-site installations.

FrontLine technicians have years of experience in valve actuator installation and service. We understand your application and can provide the needed expertise to safely mate your valve and its automation either in our facility or at the job site, whether within a plant or remote location. Our crews work quickly and efficiently, minimizing downtime and plant shut-ins.
