QUALITY IN EVERY STEP
A very wide product range, fast delivery, high quality and
competitive prices are what you can expect when dealing
with AVK.
Cost-efficient in the long run
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.
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.
AVK is certified according to the international ISO
14001 standard for environmental management
and the ISO 50001 standard for energy
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.
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.
