During the visit, the Ambassador went on a factory tour, in which he passed by the production section and was informed about the valves and fire hydrant products. AVK presented its unique quality system where every single product is tested before leaving the factory. Moreover, the Ambassador was briefed on the roll out of the AVK LEAN project, which will improve the work process and reduce waste of resources across all departments in the company.
"We highly appreciate the Ambassadors visit to AVK, which underlines the strong cooperation between the Danish government and the private sector. We believe that our joint effort will strengthen Denmark’s and AVK’s position, as being a global frontrunner in providing sustainable high-quality solutions for the water industry in Saudi Arabia, while at the same time continue the investments in a strong local manufacturing setup, which will support the Saudi 2030 vision" says Mads Helge
