Norwegian electric motor technology for electrification and automation
Alva Industries develops and manufactures compact, lightweight and high-performance electric motors based on its patented FiberPrinting™ technology. The technology enables very thin and lightweight frameless motors with high torque density and highly precise motion.
Electric motors are a critical component in a wide range of industrial systems, from robotics and medical technology to autonomous systems, defence applications and advanced manufacturing equipment. Increasing electrification and automation are creating demand for motors that combine low weight, compact form factor, precise control and high performance.
Alva’s motors give customers greater design freedom in compact electric systems where precision, weight and performance are critical. The company is experiencing increasing demand across robotics, optronics, aerospace, medical technology, semiconductor equipment and defence-related applications.
Strong industrial interest and international investor group
Alva was founded in Trondheim in 2017 and has in recent years developed from a technology company into a commercial supplier of motors for demanding industrial customers. The company has a broad customer pipeline across both commercial and defence-related markets, and has established dialogue with leading OEMs across several of its target segments.
In addition to Nysnø, the company’s investors include Sandwater and Emerald Technology Ventures, on behalf of Nabtesco Technology Ventures. Existing investors include EnvisionTech and Statkraft Ventures, as well as Samsung Ventures, who invested at the end of 2025..
