Travel back in time to Belgium, 1949. With Europe still on its knees from WWII, Albert Vandaele was able to find a silver lining in the form of Alva.
Using discarded materials and equipment from the war, Albert was able to fashion quality aluminum pots and pans, the first products on the Alva line.
Albert's eye for detail was apparent in the first designs of the Alva products, and any pots and pans that did not meet quality standards were immediately melted and recast.
The precedent for detail, product quality, and sustainability Albert set are still in the DNA of company operations today.
