MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Providing local people and businesses with
technologically advanced solutions that may
increase the quality of life and contribute to
the growth of local economies are benefits of
the products that the AVK Group offers to the
global market. Clean water, safe and efficient
handling of wastewater and gas, and protection
against fires. These are some of the benefits
that we invite the world to profit from when
using AVK products.
Providing unique and high quality product
solutions to satisfy a growing market demand
is our way of making a difference in numerous
business segments that have a direct impact
on how modern people live today. It also has
a considerable impact on how we will leave
the environment and our planet for future
generations.
The AVK Group’s core business is in the water,
gas, wastewater and fire protection segments,
but the Group also designs and manufac-
tures industrial valves for power generation,
shipbuilding, pulp and paper and oil industries.
We only enter business segments where we
believe in our ability to make a difference by
developing and supplying products that will
contribute to further strengthening our market
leadership on a global scale. The AVK Group
profits from years of manufacturing experi-
ence combined with an in-depth commercial
knowledge of market needs around the world.
The group consists of a number of international
companies that think globally, but act with
individualised designs and solutions in order to
make local footprints.
As a result, we have more than 65 subsi-
diaries located on the European, American,
Asian, Australian and African continents. We
value the importance of local customers being
serviced by local sales organisations, as it is
crucial for the continued development of the
AVK Group that we maintain the closeness to
our end users who can provide us with
valuable market and product feed-back.
The expansion and success of the AVK Group
depend on brand recognition and brand
acceptance. Only by listening to our customers,
we will be able to keep living up to the market
expectations of today and tomorrow.
The AVK Group is aiming at being a growth-
oriented group of companies, and we con-
stantly strive to maintain our position among
the leading suppliers within our core line of
business. Profitability and financial strength
form the foundation of our continued existence
and development. We are dedicated to keep
offering innovative solutions that will secure the
AVK Group’s position as the “first choice sup-
plier” among end users throughout the world.
But besides our focus on product innovation,
we also focus our efforts on constantly improv-
ing our working environment performance
through on-going and detailed development
plans.
Both from human and economic perspec-
tives, resources allocated into the creation of a
good work place with meaningful jobs, a nice
atmosphere and fully functional safety precau-
tions are sound investments, but also a must to
a leading international manufacturer assum-
ing its corporate social responsibility. Doing
business is thus fully compatible with making
a difference to people. Not only as far as our
employees are concerned, but also as far as
our end users are concerned. The AVK Group
recognises the need for products, people and
profit to go hand in hand.
IN EVERY PART OF THE WORLD THERE IS
A NEED FOR USING THE AVAILABLE
RESOURCES IN THE MOST REWARDING WAY.

oped and processed in modern factories using state-of-the-
art technology, computerised machining centres, and robots

THE AVK PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND
QUALITY MANAGEMENT
11. THE AVK GROUP OF COMPANIES | 11
SOURCING AND OUTSOURCING STRATEGY
The decision to source selected materials and
outsource selected manufacturing and services
is based on an evaluation of AVK´s own ability
and capacity - own production costs versus
market prices, and vendor´s quality in services
and deliveries. Some of the main products and
services provided by vendors are raw materials
such as steel and metal, castings, coating
powder, and a variety of components.
SELECTION OF STRATEGIC SUPPLIERS
The selection of suppliers is based on strict
investigations, auditing and test of the ability to
supply materials and services in accordance
with the set rules and standards required by
AVK. In principle, suppliers and vendors must
live up to the same rules and standards that
apply to any of AVK´s own production units.
SALES LOGISTICS
The service we offer our customers is, like all
our operations, under constant development.
A close dialogue with our customers worldwide
enables us to customize our service in each
single market. A high delivery capacity, a fast
response time, and the ability to adapt quickly,
are some of the demands we are constantly
met with. In order to meet these demands and
at the same time ensure that we can continue
to offer our customers an optimum service, we
have expanded our warehouse facilities and
today have a top modern Logistics Centre for
Continental Europe.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE AVK GROUP
All AVK factories are continuously subject to
quality improvement and certification as part of
AVK’s focused quality management efforts.
Every factory is currently certified according
to ISO 14001, the international standard for
environmental management. Moreover, most
AVK companies are also certified according to
OHSAS 18001, the international occupational
health and safety standard.
Furthermore, the majority of the AVK factories
are certified to ISO 9001 or its equivalent, and
we are aiming at having all factories certified
within a determined time frame.
In our Quality Control System, certified to ISO
9001, every process affecting the quality of
the products or services complies with the
procedures documented in our Quality Manual,
just as our products are being inspected and/
or tested to existing standards as well as our
own strict procedures before leaving any AVK
factory. We are very dedicated to making
quality guidelines an integrated part of our pro-
duction flows and processes so that quality is
embedded in the way we design and actually
process our products. Quality is a rule of life in
the supply chain universe of the AVK Group.
As a token of our proven quality, we have ob-
tained coveted approvals from a large number
of national and international testing institutes,
and the AVK products have won recognition
from a large number of customers around the
world.
THE SERVICE WE OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS IS, LIKE ALL OUR

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN AVK
13. THE AVK GROUP OF COMPANIES | 13
Both within the water, gas, wastewater handling,
and industrial segments, numerous measures
may be taken to act responsibly towards the
resources of nature.
The AVK Group recognises the dangers of
creating a negative environmental impact when
developing and exploiting business opportunities
on a global scale.As a result, we are committed
to constantly working on reducing this impact
to a minimum by improving actions and effects
that may deteriorate the resources of the earth.
We strive at developing products that are energy
saving once they are in use in water installa-
tions.All the objectives, which have been set
by the AVK Group to actively ensure protection
of the environment, reflect that the members
of the AVK Group are responsible companies
with a sound and respectful attitude towards the
environment.
We are aware of the importance of reducing
the electricity consumption, as it adds to the
emission of CO2
.We are also aware of the fact
that clean water is a scarce resource.Therefore,
the AVK Group has outlined a number of very
strict objectives for our production companies
as far as electricity and water consumption are
concerned. Consequently, all of our companies
put high efforts in reducing the consumption,
wherever they can and even get a direct saving
as a side benefit.
Every AVK employee is motivated to identify
areas of improvement in the way we do busi-
ness to the benefit of the environment.We do
not only focus on activities and processes in our
manufacturing companies, we also focus on the
behaviour and business model of our suppliers.
The AVK Group has agreed to a number of
standards that suppliers need to comply with
in order to be a certified supplier of the AVK
Group.Therefore, in a world of intensified
globalisation, resulting in increasing business
relations between countries and cultures, it is
vital for the AVK Group to achieve sustainability
throughout the supply chain.We wish to assure
our customers that we work with responsible
partners who adhere to the same standards as
we do.
We seek partners with high ethical standards.
Partners who also feel a strong commitment to
comply with international legislation in the field
of labour.We are against the use of child labour
throughout the entire supply chain, and do not
accept any discrimination in respect of employ-
ment and occupation.
The AVK Group wishes to contribute to a
sustainable future.We recognise sustainability
as a factor that is of vital importance to secure
the future success not only of man driven busi-
nesses, but of mankind. Not only do the AVK
products, in terms of the materials used and the
processes carried through, show respect for the
environment.The way in which we approach the
market with our mindset and technologies, will
be driving our efforts to preserve our planet for
future generations around the world.
GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE BUSINESS SEGMENTS THAT THE
AVK GROUP OPERATES IN, WE HAVE THE POSSIBILITY AND THE
OBLIGATION TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE PRESERVATION OF THE
ENVIRONMENT

THE AVK GROUP
PAST AND PRESENT
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. The
first series of valves produced by AVK - socket
gate valves for PVC pipes - was an important
invention that revolutionised the company and
formed the basis of the AVK business that we
know today. Over time, business objectives
were expanded, opportunities were growing,
and AVK started to produce and sell not only
valves, but also fittings and accessories for
water supply, gas supply, wastewater treatment
and fire protection.
Today, AVK has grown into an international
group of companies. Currently we employ
more than 3,000 dedicated employees around
the world. The group is one of the leading
valve 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.
THE OVER SEVEN-DECADE STORY OF AVK IS ALL ABOUT
HAVING A CLEAR VISION AND THE DETERMINATION TO PURSUIT
PERFECTION WITHOUT COMPROMISE!
