Shaping the Future: The Evolution of Alvi Group


Our History

Alvi Group, originally named Industriverktøy and later IV Group, was founded in 1961 by Georg M. Bygballe, a Danish tool maker. The company has since grown into a highly respected company within the injection moulding industry. With more than 60 years of experience, the company has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, precision-engineered solutions to a wide range of sectors such as industrial applications, medical technology, and the automotive industry.

Since the early beginning, Alvi Group has focused on developing deep technical competence and fostering long-term relationships with carefully selected customers. This focus has enabled the company to become a trusted partner known for reliability, adaptability, and a collaborative approach to problem-solving. Today, Alvi Group has an international footprint, with operations in Norway, Sweden, Poland, and China. This global presence allows the company to meet the needs of both local and international clients, while maintaining the quality and service standards that have been central to its identity since its founding.

A key part of Alvi Group’s success lies in its robust and structured methods, which support continuous improvement throughout all levels of the organization. By combining tradition with innovation, Alvi Group ensures that its processes remain efficient, sustainable, and future-focused. With a legacy of excellence and a forward-looking mindset, Alvi Group will continue to be a leading force in delivering advanced injection moulding solutions across industries and borders for the years to come.

Shaping the future

IV Group completed a rebranding, including name change and a new profile, and Alvi Group was born. The name Alvi evolves from the Norse name “alfr”, which means river. For generations, rivers around the world have influenced and formed the landscape around us, being a source for life and development. Just like a river, Alvi Group will for generations ahead influence and form injection moulded parts, helping their customers to achieve challenging goals in a sustainable way.
