Velan Inc. has been awarded a valve order exceeding $20 million CAD from Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to supply Emergency Cooling Injection (ECI) valves for three reactors being refurbished at the Pickering Nuclear Generation Station, one of the world’s largest nuclear facilities.

These critical valves, rated ASME III class 1, represent the highest standard of safety and reliability in their category. Velan supplied the original valves over 45 years ago and has continuously supported Pickering through its construction and refurbishment program.

The first shipment is scheduled for January 2027 with subsequent deliveries to be completed by January 31, 2028.

“Velan is proud to continue our partnership with OPG, supporting Canadian nuclear innovation and advancing CANDU technology,” said James Mannebach, CEO. “This order reflects our commitment to safety, reliability, and a sustainable energy future for Canada and beyond.”

The project aligns with global efforts to expand clean energy capacity and reinforces Velan’s legacy as a trusted supplier to the nuclear industry for over 75 years.
