About AVK International A/S

AVK is renowned worldwide for high-quality valves and hydrants. We contribute to sustainable solutions on global challenges within supply of clean drinking water, reduction of water loss, collection and treatment of wastewater, distribution of gas and biogas, and efficient irrigation and fire protection.

AVK International A/S offers an extensive product range to the markets in our geographical region covering Continental Europe, Central Asian and Caucasian countries and North Africa. We specialise in manufacturing gate valves, double eccentric butterfly valves, ball check valves, service connection valves, Supa Maxi™ couplings, extension spindles and selected types of hydrants and accessories. We use rubber compounds with uncompromising standards of excellence from AVK’s own rubber factory AVK GUMMI A/S, since it is crucial that rubber components inside the valves and hydrants are of the highest quality to ensure a safe, water-tight seal and trouble-free operation. We add products to our range from the more than 20 other AVK factories in Europe as well as from AVK factories worldwide enabling us to offer a very wide selection of high-quality valves, hydrants and accessories.

Based on LEAN principles, we have streamlined our work processes and the flow of goods to ensure the fastest possible lead time. We store a large selection of AVK’s product range in our 13,000 m2 warehouse, and our warehouse management system enables us to optimise our inventory and handling. Altogether, this allows us to offer great delivery service.

We are certified according to the ISO 9001 standard for quality management as well as ISO 29001, the industry-specific standard for the oil and gas industry. Moreover, we are certified to the ISO 14001 standard for environmental management, the ISO 50001 standard for Energy Management, and the ISO 45001 standard for Occupational Health and Safety.

Our customers are serviced by local sales organisations in AVK’s own sales companies or our carefully selected distributors, who engage in their customers’ needs. We are therefore able to offer tailor-made solutions that match local specifications.

AVK International A/S employs approx. 230 people at four sites around Galten, Denmark, and we have local sales representatives in several countries within our region. In the financial year 2022/2023, we had a turnover of DKK 739 million.
