QUALITY MANAGEMENT... 10-11 12-13 14-15 16 17 Dear customer and business partner, First of all, I would like to thank you for the more than 30 years we have enjoyed doing business together. It has been a fantastic journey since back in 1985 AVK established the Saudi Valves Manufacturing Company as a local factory in Jeddah to manufacture valves and fire hydrants. We are honoured to be the first international company that established local manufacturing within our industry, and have participated in building the water and fire market in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Over the years, we have grown together with you and introduced new products and solutions to the market. Every single step we have taken has been based on the fundamental AVK principle, which is to focus on providing our customers long lasting products and to never compromise on the quality. This is the reason why AVK has been approved by Aramco as a key supplier for their valves and fire hydrants for 20 years. Similarly, our products can be found in many of the strategic water and sewage projects that the Ministry of Environment, Water & Agriculture and NWC have built around the Kingdom. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT... SALES AND MARKETING NETWORK... CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES... GROUP OF COMPANIES... 18 19 20 21 At AVK, we believe in combining the best of being part of one of the world s largest international valves manufacturing companies, while at the same time being close to our customers with a local factory. This confirms that we are able to offer a large assortment of quality products for most applications in the water, sewage, and fire segments, through our AVK Shops that are located around the Kingdom. Since our entry into the Saudi market, AVK has made massive local investments in production facilities and increasing the local content in our products. Likewise, we are focusing on increasing our Saudization, by proactively hiring and developing young male and female Saudis through our graduation programs. Moving forwards, AVK is committed to continue to increase our investments locally in Saudi Arabia and play our part in the Kingdom to fulfil the 2030 vision. I sincerely hope that we will continue this important journey together. LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP... 22-23 Mads Helge General Manager 2 AVK SAUDI COMPANY PROFILE AVK SAUDI COMPANY PROFILE 3

WHERE WE ARE GLOBALLY AVK GROUP PAST AND PRESENT THE OVER SEVEN-DECADE STORY OF AVK IS ALL ABOUT HAVING A CLEAR VISION AND THE DETER- MINATION TO PURSUIT PERFECTION WITHOUT COMPROMISE!

MEXICO AND CUBA AVK OVERSEAS SOUTH AMERICA AVK VALVULAS DO BRASIL LTDA. SOUTHERN AFRICA AVK VALVES SOUTHERN AFRICA (PTY.) LTD AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND AVK AUSTRALIA PTY LTD THE ARABIAN PENINSULA SAUDI VALVES MANUFACTURING CO. LTD. Asia CHINA, HONG KONG, JAPAN AND KOREA AVK CHINA AVK was established in 1941 in the modest surrounding area of a small village named Galten in Denmark. The founder, Aage Valdemar Kjær (hence the name AVK), performed everyday plumbing and heating services in the local community. In addition to these everyday services, the company also had a minor production operation in which it produced compressors for the refrigeration industry, which mainly supplied farmers having a need for cooling the fresh milk from their cows. The guiding principles were quality, customer relations and continuity. He knew that the products were in order, and therefore he was able to offer an extensive product guarantee. In 1970, Aage Valdemar Kjær s son, Niels Aage Kjær, took over the business from his father and started to develop a resilient seated gate valve destined for the water supply segment. The first series of valves produced by AVK - socket gate valves for PVC pipes - was an important invention that revolutionised the company and formed the basis of the AVK business that we know today. Over time, business objectives were expanded, opportunities were growing, and AVK started to produce and sell not only valves, but also fittings and accessories for water supply, gas supply, wastewater treatment and fire protection. Today, AVK has grown into an international group of companies. Currently we employ more than 3,400 dedicated employees around the world. The group is one of the leading valve manufacturers for the water, gas, and wastewater industries as well as fire protection worldwide. Highquality product solutions, in-depth market knowledge and continuous product development have contributed to branding the AVK Group as one of the world s leading manufacturers. The brand names developed and owned by the AVK Group are thus important assets when being on the look-out for new business opportunities. The sales of the comprehensive product range, comprising valves, hydrants, fittings and accessories, is thus strongly supported by the worldfamous blue AVK logo that promotes an entire series of well-known brands. 8 AVK SAUDI COMPANY PROFILE AVK SAUDI COMPANY PROFILE 9

LOCAL MANUFACTURING AVK SVMC in 1980s AVK SAUDI PAST AND PRESENT AVK IN SAUDI ARABIA FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES WITH BUSINESS EXPERIENCE AND LOCAL COMMITMENT OVER 30YEARS AVK Saudi Valves Manufacturing Co.

Next, AVK started manufacturing more products in the line of valves and fire hydrants to be used in the industrial sector, including series 24 wet barrel hydrants and series 45 gate valves, all in accordance with ANSI & UL/FM standards. This enabled AVK SVMC to target the fast-growing oil and gas industry in Saudi. As a result, AVK Saudi obtained an approval from Aramco to supply valves and fire hydrants for all ARAMCO sites in 1999. In AVK Saudi quality products and excellent customer service is fundamental objective.

This cooperation between AVK SVMC and Issa Bin Laden came to an end in 2001 when AVK took over the shares owned by Bin Laden, rendering AVK Saudi the sole shareholder of the company. Through the 1990s, AVK SVMC diversified its production to include fire hydrants. As a result, its supply of valves, fire hydrants, and accessories grew considerbly in both the export and local market. In particular, during this period the exports to the GCC countries, which surround the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, started to increase. Therefore, AVK opened an office in Dubai in 1998, in order to improve the customer service in GCC.

BLAST CLEANING All castings are blast cleaned ensuring that any unevenness in the surface of the castings is fully cleaned. This process ensures optimum adhesion of the coating. PRODUCT TESTING VARIETY OF COATING The majority of valves have as standard, epoxy coating according to DIN 30677. The epoxy is applied electrostatically in an enclosed booth, where the powder melt and cures on contact with the cleaned and preheated casting.

The valves are packed in wooden pallets with corrugated cardboard carefully placed between valves to prevent damage of the coating during transportation. For extra protection the valves can be delivered with plastic bonnet and flange protectors. Quality for AVK is not limited to the product itself. It concerns the entire process, from the early specification to the implementation and after sales. Quality is not the result of a single link in the chain it is the sum of all steps. To deliver the best quality we must aim at delivering in every step. Because the total quality is only as strong as the weakest link.
