Plattsburgh, NY – March 24, 2026, Press Release  – Plattco Corporation, a leader in industrial valve and flow-control engineering, is advancing manufacturing innovation in the North Country with the launch of EVA™ (Electric Valve Actuator), a state-of-the-art patented system designed to replace traditional compressed air actuation in the most demanding industrial environments.

The EVA™ launch demonstrates how regional manufacturers can lead in high-tech industrial solutions while supporting local economic growth. By modernizing valve operation and eliminating the need for compressed air infrastructure, Plattco is helping businesses in cement, bulk material handling, and renewable energy industries improve efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and operate more sustainably.

“EVA™ is a major step forward for industrial operations in the North Country,” said Kevin Guay, VP of Sales and Engineering at Plattco. “It not only enhances performance for our customers but also strengthens the local manufacturing ecosystem, supporting jobs, supply chains, and regional economic development initiatives.”

Regional and Industry Impact:

●     North Country Growth: Adoption of EVA™ supports local suppliers, creates skilled manufacturing jobs, and positions Plattsburgh as a hub for industrial innovation.

●     Industry Relevance: EVA™ provides reliable, precise control for sectors such as cement production, bulk material handling, and renewable energy, areas critical to both regional and national infrastructure.

●     Operational Advantage: Performs reliably in extreme temperatures, abrasive material conditions, and environments where air-based systems fail, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

EVA™ is retrofit-ready for existing valve installations, enabling regional operators to modernize without major redesigns, while delivering long-term cost savings and measurable efficiency gains.

Plattco’s innovation illustrates how manufacturing excellence can drive both economic development in the North Country and competitiveness in key industrial sectors worldwide.
