Valco Instruments, Houston
|
About us
|
|
Welcome to the unique "campus" site of Valco Instruments in Houston - over 12 acres of
woods, research and testing labs, machine shops, offices, and assembly sites, all folded
gracefully among a residential neighborhood and specialty shopping area. Our attention to
landscaping and maintaining the residential feel of the area, combined with the
state-of-the-art equipment inside those quiet exteriors, articulate the Valco priority of
being a good neighbor as well as being technically excellent. Our production is carried on in
a lovely campus that many people nearby don't even recognize as a manufacturing facility!

|
The entry to the administration building at 7811 Westview is quiet and residential looking, yet
only a mile from a major Houston freeway.
|
Just drive in and park in the shaded visitors' lot.

Fafnir, one of a long line of Valco St. Bernards, in the woods behind the administration
building.

One of our state of the art machine shops, with over 55 advanced CNC machining centers.
We're not a catalog company - we make virtually everything that we sell.
|
Wide paver walkways connect all the buildings and are sites for many impromptu conferences
en route.

|
Our landmark at the corner of Wirt and Westview. The tower houses a 53 bell carillon,
with live performances on a regular basis and special concerts with international artists
throughout the year.
|
Look past the irises to the gazebo behind our conference facility. Weekly production
meetings include video conferencing with VICI AG in Switzerland. Company- wide picnics are
held on the lawn.
