On November 26, 2025, LESER hosted the Economic Committee for Industrial Valves of the German Engineering Federation (“Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau”, VDMA) at the LESER headquarters in Hamburg. Twenty-six participants from companies in the German valve industry gathered in the Hanseatic city to discuss current industry topics.

Mainly they discussed the economic development of the industry as well as exhibition activities, and the impact of PFAS regulations on the sealing industry.

“We are very pleased to welcome the participants of the VDMA Economic Committee for Industrial Valves at LESER today and to a get the opportunity to also present our company to the guests,” said Thomas Gellweiler, Managing Director of LESER.

A guided tour of the LESER Chatroom and the development test bench rounded off the meeting. This gave participants insights not only into current market issues, but also into LESER's testing and development expertise at its Hamburg site.
