AVI is an Austrian manufacturer of concrete reinforcement products, which has been continuously working on the development and production of innovative products since it was founded in 1948. AVI’s service portfolio includes, on the one hand, classic reinforcement products such as spacers, which are sold through building materials retailers in Austria and abroad, and, on the other hand, technical products such as the load-bearing thermal insulation element Thermokorb for precast concrete companies and construction companies. In addition, AVI also supplies companies cutting and bending rebars throughout Austria with their products.
CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT FOR GENERATIONS
For three generations, the founding family Ritter and their descendants have been moving the market around steel production and concrete reinforcement. What started small with the founding of AVI is now a successfully operating group of companies under the umbrella of the family-run M + S Maschinen und Stahl Holding GmbH.

TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION
Through our visionary actions, we have a significant impact on CONSTRUCTION. As early as 1949, AVI developed the first standardised wire mesh program in Europe. Building on this pioneering work, new products were designed and manufactured on an ongoing basis, such as the development of the economical ÖMAT wire mesh with loops.

Today, AVI’s innovations focus equally on the product as well as the service sector, such as engineering and logistics. The use of new materials and the strong focus on individuality and solution orientation make AVI a strong and future-oriented partner.
