KYS Norway: Designed in Norway, Built for the World
The Brand
KYS Norway is a top brand from Bergen, known for its high-quality spiral mixers. These mixers are made for both home bakers and professional kitchens, offering powerful performance and stylish Scandinavian design.
KYS began its journey in the transport and construction industry, where the founders developed a deep understanding of engineering, durability, and functional design. Leveraging this expertise, they later diversified into the outdoor lifestyle market, launching a line of premium pizza ovens designed with industrial-grade quality.
Following the success of their ovens, KYS identified an opportunity to expand into kitchen mixers, applying the same design philosophy, robust performance, thoughtful innovation, and modern aesthetics.
KYS began on WordPress but migrated to Shopify in 2025 to streamline their eCommerce operations and support international growth. As their global presence grew, they recognized the need for a localization solution. KYS integrated langify into their store to offer a localized shopping experience in multiple languages, enhancing both accessibility and customer engagement worldwide.
This transformation from industrial roots to a global lifestyle brand highlights their commitment to evolving with market needs while staying true to their foundation of quality and innovation.
Whether it’s their small 5L model or the large 30L Pro version, each machine is built to last and works perfectly. The brand’s motto says it best:
“Precision that performs—designed in Norway.”
The Challenge: Going Global
KYS Norway was performing well in Norway and began to attract buyers in other countries. But there was a problem:
Their online store only worked in Norwegian.
This caused three main issues:
- Language Barriers & Target Markets: Customers from other countries, such as Canada, Germany, France, Italy, and Hungary, were unable to understand product details.
- Poor User Experience: The brand’s clear and detailed product info didn’t translate well with auto-traslation plug-ins, making it hard for customers to trust.
- Too Complex to Manage: As a small team, they needed a simple solution without hiring extra developers.
They tried a few translation plug-ins on WordPress, but each failed for different reason, (e.g. ease of use, control over the translations, or representation of content translated on the website).
The Solution: A Multilingual Online Store
To fix this issue, Avid Brio suggested KYS Norway use langify, a tool that helps Shopify stores translate content in various languages.
With langify, they were able to:
Add Languages Easily: They added new languages such as English, German, French, Italian, and Hungarian to their website without writing a single line of code. It was quick and user-friendly.
Maintain a Professional Brand Voice: They reviewed and edited translations manually as needed, so every version of the website sounded clear and natural, matching their brand’s tone.
Browser Language Feature: With langify’s language detection feature, the website detected visitors’ current browser language and presented the correct translated website, improving the user experience with native language content.
Everything from product pages to recipes and support info was translated to make customers feel right at home.
This multilingual upgrade was part of a broader focus on ensuring that every customer, regardless of location, enjoys a seamless and intuitive experience.
The Results: Smooth Shopping, Worldwide
The results were clear:
- More Global Customers: People from Germany, Hungary, Canada, and Italy started buying the spiral mixer.
- Higher Turnover: Customers understood the products better, which increased overall sales.
- Increased Trust: Speaking to customers in their native language made them feel supported and confident.
- Saved Time: The KYS team didn’t have to spend much time on translations, so they could focus on improving products and service.
