Hydroelectricity safely under control

Located in the central Alps, our plant in Serneus in the Swiss canton of Graubünden has developed to become a specialist supplier of valves for hydroelectric power stations over the decades. Today customers worldwide make use of our know-how in order to install reliable safety valves in hydroelectric power stations.

ADAMS SCHWEIZ AG has produced valves for hydroelectric power stations at its 8,000-square-metre pre- mises since 1979. Due to its topography and the high average precipitation, Switzerland has a long tradition in the use of hydroelectric power. Today Switzerland generates 56% of its energy from hydroelectric power. Switzerland’s hydropower network consists of over 540 hydroelectric power stations. This environment has always offered us the ideal situation in which to develop perfectly coordinated solutions for the requirements of safety valves for hydroelectric power stations.

Long-serving employees guarantee quality

Our employees in Switzerland are our guarantee of the highest quality and precision. Just like at our other locations, our staff have remained loyal to the company over many years, ensuring a high degree of commit- ment and experience.

Apart from manufacturing valves, we also provide our customers with help when planning new plants or modernising and refurbishing existing plants. The latter point is a key task in view of the need for carbon- optimised energy generation.
