AVK

The AVK Group, founded in Denmark in 1941, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of valves and hydrants for water, wastewater, gas and fire protection networks. The group operates more than 40 factories and dozens of sales companies across Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Australia, producing ductile iron gate valves with resilient sealing, butterfly valves, check valves, ball valves, air valves, control valves and firefighting equipment. AVK's waterworks gate valves are a benchmark in municipal infrastructure, known for a fully epoxy-coated ductile iron body, a vulcanized rubber-encapsulated wedge and corrosion-free drinking water approval under major European and American standards including EN 1074, AWWA and WRAS. The company also serves industrial water applications, district heating and OEM segments. AVK's scale allows it to offer both BS and DIN pattern product lines from a single group, making it a preferred partner for utilities and contractors working across different national standards. Regional companies within the group include AVK Valves USA, which produces AWWA-compliant gate, butterfly and check valves plus actuation packages for North American municipal and industrial water infrastructure, and AVK Saudi Valves Manufacturing Co. (AVK SVMC), founded in Jeddah in 1985, approved by Saudi Aramco and national water authorities, and supplying Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC and Middle East from its dedicated manufacturing base.
