About Alva
Founded in 2016, Alva has grown to over thirty people with reliable funding and an ingenious and patented production technology with proven superiority over conventional alternatives. Our FiberPrinting™ technology enables the production of low-weight, high-efficiency electric motors and generators for a wide range of applications, reflecting our true purpose. We don’t just enhance electric motors and generators; we also enhance electric cars, ships, airplanes, UAVs, medical equipment, robots, satellites, and much more.
We are currently expanding our product range and on-site manufacturing facilities significantly to meet strong market demand. All our motors are designed and manufactured here at our facilities in Trondheim, where we develop not only the motors but also the innovative and patented manufacturing tools and processes that allow us to extract the maximum potential from our FiberPrinting™ technology.
