TOGETHER,
WE BUILD EXCELLENCE
GAV has been producing fittings and accessories for compressed air and airbrushes since 1974.
The characteristics that have made GAV’s recognition and appreciation in the market possible are to be found in its high technological level, which is expressed in constant experimentation and innovation. In addition, GAV boasts a large series production by virtue of a fully automated production process such that, even for large supplies, optimum delivery times can be achieved.
The range of models available and at the same time the accuracy with which each individual piece is finished represent for GAV the meeting point of research, technology, automation and service.
