Festo presents new VUVX solenoid valves in Shanghai with development and manufacturing in China
Festo's 13 October announcement outlines VUVX sizes and applications, with options for VTUX valve terminals or standalone installation.
The story explained
Festo announced its new-generation VUVX solenoid valves at the Shanghai industrial fair that opened on 12 October. Its 13 October release identifies a China-led development team and production at the company’s Jinan centre.
The modular range initially covers sizes 10, 14, 18 and 24, with stated series flow rates of 260–1,975 L/min. Units can serve as pneumatic components within VTUX terminals or operate independently; electrical connection plates allow connection changes.
The manufacturer names battery production, semiconductor manufacturing, textiles and small-parts assembly among the applications. Selection still requires the particular ordering code’s valve function, pressure, supply and flow conditions. This report concerns the Shanghai announcement, rather than evidence of customer volume deliveries.
Why it matters
A shared terminal and standalone platform may simplify machine interfaces; replacement suitability depends on pneumatic functions and electrical connections.

What to watch next
Watch model-specific data sheets, regional availability and supported VTUX configurations.
These are research prompts, not announced tenders or confirmed subsequent developments.
