Firsthand experience

A customer asks you for information about a particular product in the context of a project. What's your approach?

When a customer requests product information, it's crucial that the information you provide is technically accurate. The market parties are demanding severe specifications to be met. Therefore, you first coordinate with the Technical Departments and discuss best options. Together with your colleagues, you clearly explain all information, after you present it to the customer. You should have a good understanding for both language and technology, so you can convert difficult technical terms into comprehensible language.

Growth

At EFP International, we mainly provide training on the job, and you mostly learn from well-versed co-workers —partly because you should discover and further expand the specific aspects of system development in practice.

In addition to profiles, they also develop all other system components, gaskets/seals, accessories, fittings, and a like. EFP is in close contact with investors, project developers, architects, and contractors in order to assure providing the most suitable solutions for each market.

EFP's end product is the shell of a building, or, the exterior façade you can see. A crucial product requirement is climate control of the building, this includes heat & sound insulation, waterproofing and minimize the air ingress.

For all systems, test elements are in-house pre-made and tested on performance by independent national and international test-institutes.
