Denmark's AVK Group Makes Its Debut and Shows Dedication to The Taiwan Market

AVK Group, a privately owned Danish company, manufactures and designs valves in a global scale. The group owns AVK, Wouter Witzel, Glenfield, Fusion, ACMO, Orbinox and others world-famous brands. The AVK Group is divided into three main business units: AVK Water, AVK Industrial and AVK Advanced Manufacturing. The extensive range of products covers every link and aspect of the modern urban water market. AVK valves are part of vital infrastructure systems for water treatment from rainwater harvesting, to reservoirs to wastewater treatment and discharge.

AVK Group provides a one-stop solution for customers, housing all manufacturing factories in the same area for better planning and to maintain complete production control. AVK's own EPDM rubber compound of exceptional quality and uniformity is one of their strong features and something quite rare in the water market. Using rubber compound designed and made within the group means products will have the best sealing performance and durability. The finished products are also not easily imitated or counterfeited. Wouter Witzel, the group's high-end butterfly valve brand, is mostly known in shipbuilding, water resource, and industrial markets, due to the use of the highly resistant AVK EPDM rubber compound as well. In addition, AVK's star product gate valves also has a great reputation and takes up a large amount of market share. Both metal seated and resilient seated gate valves used AVK's high-quality rubber compound as well, which adds to the strength of the product.

Pressure Management

Aside from gate valves, AVK also provides a wide variety of check valves, butterfly valves, and control valves required to regulate flow and pressure. AVK has leverage as the demand for smart water systems has been escalating in recent years. AVK as a one-stop manufacturer is able to provide the most suitable semi-customized products which integrate sensing, transmission, and other functions catering specifically to the customer's field plan. AVK also developed a software control interface for customers. There are already highly successful applications in use in Denmark and the UK.

Large-size valves are also one of the group's well-known products. As these valves are often required at remote or isolated sites where installation and maintenance can be truly challenging, the requirements for reliability and durability also must be extremely high. AVK 's resilient seated gate valve can reach a maximum of 1.2 meters in diameter, metal seated gate valve maximum 2.2 meters, butterfly valve maximum 4 meters, and plunger control valve maximum 2.2 meters. This exhibits excellent quality control capabilities throughout the manufacturing process. The outstanding performance earned the group the trust from both the public and the private sectors and increased the exposure of AVK.

In the past, AVK products were mainly in compliance with the British and European standards. Since they do not normally conform with the American and Japanese standards more prevalently used in Taiwan, AVK only have agents here. At the beginning of 2023, the Taiwan branch was officially established in an effort to listen more closely to customer's needs and provide timely services locally. The group also launched many valves in line with Taiwan standards to expand their product line and build a better portfolio.

AVK Taiwan Branch will debut at 2023 Taiwan International Water Week. A wide variety of popular valves, including the Wouter Witzel 1.2-meter diameter Centric butterfly valves with fixed liner will be on display. It will be a great presentation to behold.
