MSA at the Expo-Gas 2025 Trade Fair: 135 Years of Tradition and New Challenges Ahead

We participated in the international trade fair Expo-Gas 2025 in Kielce, Poland, which focuses on gas engineering, energy, and technical solutions for infrastructure. The exhibition exceeded our expectations—it confirmed that there is still great interest in MSA valves on the Polish market.

We gained a number of new contacts and opportunities for future cooperation. A major recognition for us was also the award received during the gala evening:

MSA was announced as the company with the longest manufacturing tradition at the fair – this year we are celebrating 135 years since our founding.

At the same time, we realize that a number of steps await us to maintain competitiveness, including the renewal of the EN 14141 certification for our gate valves.

We thank all partners and visitors who stopped by our stand. And we already know that we will be present at the next Expo-Gas fair in 2027.
