Algemeene Nederlandsche Verlichtings-Industrie Almelo (ANVIA)
In 1906, Max Liebert took over a decoration company in Berlin from Lessmann Moset. In almost 30 years, Max managed to build a successful decoration and lighting company, consisting of 3 factories. Shortly after the National Socialist government took office, Max Liebert was deprived of 2 of the 3 companies. The factory that made lighting fixtures was moved from Berlin to Almelo. At the end of 1933, this factory was registered as Algemeene Nederlandsche Lighting-Industrie Almelo (ANVIA). Together with his son Werner and son-in-law Fritz Kaufmann, Max and Käte Liebert managed to build a successful company in the Netherlands again.

Jan Hoogervorst designed all collections for ANVIA until 1982. In the 1950s and 1960s, ANVIA was one of the larger Dutch lighting companies, together with Philips in Eindhoven and Hala in Zeist. The company was sold in the early 1970s by Ilse Kaufmann-Liebert to an external director, Mr. Veen. This led ANVIA through a period of further industrialization. In the mid-1980s, ANVIA was taken over by a Dutch window decoration company. A few years later, the ANVIA brand disappeared from the market. Then nothing will happen to the ANVIA brand for about 30 years. In the summer of 2014, an idea was born to revive the renowned ANVIA brand. What follows is an inspiring search for the special history of ANVIA. ANVIA was officially re-established on January 5, 2015.
