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.
Working at EFP European Facade Products
EFP European Facade Products was founded in 2004 and develops quality aluminum profile systems for the facade industry. Its customers are international window/door facade contractors that manufacture and install EFP profiles and components in order to create and install the correct end product. 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. Aesthetics, budget, production, and assembly efficiency are also important. They're mainly applied for the benefit of large office blocks/towers, hotels, but also for residential buildings. For all systems, test elements are in-house pre-made and tested on performance by independent national and international test-institutes.
