Rich. Andvord AS was a Norwegian company.

It was established in 1865 by Richard Andvord,[1] who traded with pens, paper and other writing materials through an outlet near Stortorvet, Oslo. He soon expanded into a larger company, including book printing and bookbinding in the company portfolio.[2]

In later times it acquired Grieg Kalenderforlag and Emo, among others.[1] In 2005 it was merged with C. Tybring-Gjedde to form the new company Andvord Tybring-Gjedde.[3]
