VICI Valco Instruments
Houston, Texas

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 while maintaining technical excellence. Our production is carried on in a lovely facility that many people nearby don't even recognize as a manufacturing site!
