The team returned with valuable market insights and strong connections, as well as increased brand awareness, indicating another successful step forward in the company’s ongoing global expansion.

Reasons for Attending Stocexpo

StocExpo was an excellent platform for Protectoseal, and there were three key reasons the team decided to exhibit:

1. Business development: With a global audience of professionals from the storage tank industry, StocExpo presented the perfect opportunity to expand Protectoseal’s business footprint and secure new partnerships.
2. Networking: The event attracted a wide variety of industry experts, making it an ideal venue for networking with existing and potential clients. These connections are invaluable for future collaborations and long-term business growth.
3. Brand awareness: The exhibition allowed Protectoseal to showcase its product range and increase its visibility in the market, ensuring that the company’s innovative solutions were top-of-mind for key industry players. The show was a fantastic opportunity to highlight Protectoseal’s reputation as a leader in Flame Arresters and Pressure Protection Equipment.

Protectoseal’s Products on Display

Protectoseal’s product range was front and center, with several of our innovative Flame Arresters and Pressure Protection Equipment generating significant interest from attendees. Some of the key products showcased at the event included:

• In-Line Unstable Detonation Flame Arresters (UCA): Designed to prevent gas or vapor explosions in pipelines during unstable detonation. The Flame Arresters are an important part of Protectoseal’s product offering, and attendees were eager to learn more about their safety features and applications.
• End-of-Line Pressure and Vacuum Conservation Relief Vent (8540H): is our best-selling vent and is widely recognized in the industry for providing dependable pressure and vacuum protection. This vent is critical to maintaining safe storage tank conditions, and attendees showed great interest.
• Pipe-Away Pressure and Vacuum Conservation Relief Vent (18540D): is designed to provide pressure and vacuum relief in applications where hazardous vapors must be piped away rather than released into the atmosphere.
• FAB Valve^® (Flame Arrester Breather Valve): functions as both a Pressure and Vacuum Conservation Relief Vent and a Deflagration Flame Arrester. This vent received a lot of attention, especially from those looking to enhance tank safety and performance with an all-in-one unit.
• Tank Blanketing Valves (10, 20, and 30): Our Tank Blanketing Valves are designed to control the flow of a blanketing gas (typically nitrogen) into the vapor space of a flammable liquid storage tank. The valve senses the pressure in the vapor space and fully opens when the tank pressure equals the set point, allowing gas to flow into the tank.

Meeting Existing Clients

In addition to meeting with potential customers, the Protectoseal team had the pleasure of catching up with some of our valued existing clients, and the team enjoyed many productive meetings, discussing their ongoing satisfaction with Protectoseal’s Flame Arresters and Pressure Protection Equipment, and reaffirming our strong customer service, while exploring opportunities for future collaboration.

A Global Reach

StocExpo’s international reach was evident, with attendees from all over the world. We were pleased to meet representatives from countries including Belgium, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, and the UAE, to name but a few.

This diverse participation allowed us to reinforce Protectoseal’s global presence and highlight the company’s ability to offer tailored safety solutions to a wide variety of markets across the globe.

Looking ahead

Our success at StocExpo 2025 demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation, safety, and customer satisfaction. The connections made, insights gained, and opportunities secured at the event help to set the stage for our continued growth.

We look forward to seeing the ongoing impact of our participation at StocExpo and the exciting new partnerships and developments that will emerge from it in the coming months. 2025 looks like an exciting year ahead for Protectoseal, so stay tuned for more updates as we continue to deliver cutting-edge solutions that ensure safety and reliability for industries around the world.
