A very wide product range, fast delivery, high quality and
competitive prices are what you can expect when dealing
with AVK.
Quality in every step
AVK’s products must meet the market
requirements for a high and uniform quality,
competitive prices, reliable performance and long
durability. This imposes very high demands on
our quality assurance system which of course is
certified according to ISO 9001.
In our product development we use FEA (Finite
Element Analysis) to optimise the strength
and geometry of our components and CFD
(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analyses to
validate different product designs prior to creating
physical prototypes. This enables us to predict
consequences in cases where it is impossible to
create full scale tests on physical products.
We make our own test and production
equipment, and in our flow lab, we conduct
thorough prototype and life cycle tests prior to
release for production. New product types are
typically field tested in co-operation with end
users before final launch.
Our production sites are streamlined with
optimized flows and automated processes which
reduce the lead time and minimize repeated and
manual work.
We work with anchoring LEAN in our company
culture and use the tools to ensure continuous
improvements and to eliminate waste.
Third party certification
Authorities such as DVGW (Germany), KIWA
(the Netherlands) and UL & FM (the US) offer
certification of finished valves, and these are
also recognized and accepted by other countries
that do not have their own certification schemes.
By obtaining and maintaining the most widely
accepted certification, we show our customers
that AVK valves always meet the highest quality
and safety standards.
Focus on the environment
AVK products are part of vital infrastructures,
which play an important role for the local
environment all over the world, such as
distribution of potable water and safe and
efficient wastewater treatment.
We do our best to make a difference, and for
AVK, sustainability and sound economics go
hand-in-hand. Reducing water loss actively helps
reduce electricity consumption and protects one
of our most valuable resources, and at the same
time it saves money. Our high-quality solutions
minimise environmental impacts caused by
excavation, repair or replacement. This ensures
that our business is based on a sustainable
foundation.
AVK is certified according to the international
ISO 14001 standard for environmental
management and we work continuously to fulfil
local environmental standards and minimise
our environmental impacts, both in terms of
production processes and materials.
Moreover, we are certified according to
ISO 45001, the international standard for
occupational health and safety management.
