AVK

AVK traces its roots back to 1941 when founder Aage V. Kjaer opened a machine shop in Galten, Denmark, developing it into a producer of refrigeration equipment, as well as a general plumbing services company. Around 1970, son Niels A. Kjaer took over his father's business, founding Aage V. Kjaers Maskinfabrik A/S. Today, AVK is an international group of companies with a wide focus, which includes the manufacturer of valves and fire hydrants.
