About Alva Cookware
Step back in time to Belgium, 1949. In the aftermath of World War II, as Europe struggled to rebuild, Albert Vandaele discovered an opportunity amidst the chaos, giving birth to Alva. By repurposing discarded materials and equipment from the war, Albert crafted high-quality aluminum pots and pans, marking the inception of the Alva product line. His meticulous attention to detail was evident from the very first designs, ensuring that any pots and pans failing to meet his rigorous standards were promptly melted down and recast. The commitment to detail, product quality, and sustainability that Albert established continues to be a fundamental part of our company's operations today.
