1913 It all started with Nils Storvik. In 1909 he married Brit Sande and became a farmer at Sande in Sunndal and 1913 he built a small smithy that he operated in addition to the farm. He mainly produced tools for agriculture, but Nils also demonstrated that he had a knack for finer blacksmith’s art and was therefore entrusted with the task of making locks to Sunndal Sparebank.

Eventually his son, Endre Sande, took over the smithy. The projects in the smithy continued to increase, creating a need for more hands and a more organized operation. Therefore, in 1952, Storvik Smieverksted was created. The operation was then moved to new premises in Øyagata.

The three companies were now operating under the name Storvik AS.
