THE OVER SEVEN-DECADE
STORY OF AVK IS ALL ABOUT
HAVING A CLEAR VISION AND
THE DETERMINATION TO
PURSUIT PERFECTION WITHOUT
COMPROMISE!
AVK was established in 1941 in the modest surrounding area
of a small village named Galten in Denmark. The founder, Aage
Valdemar Kjær (hence the name AVK), performed everyday
plumbing and heating services in the local community. In
addition to these everyday services, the company also had a
minor production operation in which it produced compressors
for the refrigeration industry, which mainly supplied farmers
having a need for cooling the fresh milk from their cows.
The guiding principles were quality, customer relations and
continuity. He knew that the products were in order, and
therefore he was able to offer an extensive product guarantee.
In 1970, Aage Valdemar Kjær’s son, Niels Aage Kjær, took over
the business from his father and started to develop
a resilient seated gate valve destined for the water supply
segment.
Today, AVK has grown into an international group of companies.
Currently we employ more than 3,400 dedicated employees
around the world. The group is one of the leading valves
manufacturers for the water, gas, and wastewater industries as
well as fire protection worldwide. High- quality product
solutions, in-depth market knowledge and continuous product
development have contributed to branding the AVK Group as one
of the world’s leading manufacturers.
The brand names developed and owned by the AVK Group are thus important
assets when being on the look-out for new business opportunities. The sales
of the comprehensive product range, comprising valves, hydrants, fittings and
accessories, is thus strongly supported by the world- famous blue AVK logo that
promotes an entire series of well-known brands.

of a project to prevent water loss due to inaccurate design parameters or wrong
selection of valves and fittings. Our DMA system allows water utilities to optimize
water distributions in terms of energy consumption, pressure management and water
leak indication which results in an enormous reduction amount in the Non-Revenue
Water (NRW).

grown together with you and introduced new products and solutions to the market. Every single step we have taken
has been based on the fundamental AVK principle, which is to focus on providing our customers long lasting products
and to never compromise on the quality. This is the reason why AVK has been approved by Aramco as a key supplier

our AVK Shops that are located around the Kingdom.
Since our entry into the Saudi market, AVK has made massive local investments in production facilities and increasing
the local content in our products. Likewise, we are focusing on increasing our Saudization, by proactively hiring and
developing young male and female Saudis through our graduation programs. Moving forwards, AVK is committed to
continue to increase our investments locally in Saudi Arabia and play our part in the Kingdom to fulfil the 2030 vision.
