At Åviken, tradition and innovation meet in a shared love of great taste and sustainable design.
As a family-owned company rooted in Gnosjö, Sweden, we’ve spent generations championing quality, craftsmanship, and the things that truly make a difference in the kitchen. We specialize in waffle irons and kitchen tools that turn classic recipes into perfect results – every time. Our products are made for the modern home, but always with deep respect for the legacy of Scandinavian culinary tradition.
Our story begins in the early 1950s, when Åviken Metallfabrik in Gnosjö launched its first electric waffle iron – an innovation that blended the precision of the past with the technology of the future. It marked the beginning of a brand that has become synonymous with quality across Scandinavia. Over the decades, our technology has evolved, but our passion for good taste and smart function remains unchanged. With the help of Swedish designers and engineers, we’ve continued to refine and renew our products – always focusing on sustainability, form, and ease of use.
Our product lines offer something for every need. Whether you prefer thin, crispy heart-shaped waffles, Belgian gofres, or want to create beautiful cones and traditional krumkake, you'll find the perfect tool with us. Our cast aluminum plates, powerful heating elements, and adjustable thermostats give you full control – from the first spoonful of batter to the final crisp.
We also want to inspire you to preserve and explore Nordic flavors. That’s why we share both traditional and innovative recipes – from our popular waffles and gluten-free versions to krumkake and goro. All recipes are easy to follow, yet leave plenty of room for creativity – because we know that some of life’s best moments are made in the kitchen.
Åviken – Swedish design, Nordic flavor, and a tradition to be proud of.
