ADCA Pure Steam

Due to the financial instability of some companies after the April Revolution in 1974, the young technician Fernando Rodrigues Soares took the opportunity to establish his own company with three other business partners. Even though the main activity was the assembly of steam systems, compressed air and thermal oil systems, it was during this period that Mr. Soares designed equipment, which is still being produced today, namely humidity separators and heat exchangers.

The company’s name was changed to Valsteam Adca Engineering SA and it incorporated the brand ADCA, which was already known in the international market. The field of metallic construction gained strength with the re-introduction of heat exchangers to the company’s portfolio. This activity was transferred to a nearby factory (1800 m2) and the manufacturing operation was improved.

Moved into the new facilities in January 2012, the new factory with a total area of 22000m2 in Portugal.
