We're building a company showroom!

Attentive readers of our blog know that ELETOR got off to an extremely modest start. We spent more than a decade working in a basement, trying to stay afloat in the challenging electronics market and comply with complex legal regulations, standards and business rules.  We carried out many tasks and activities ourselves so that we could put the money we saved towards further investment. Apart from a set of unshakable values, we did not really have much. Yet from the very beginning, we were guided by unwavering feelings of mutual love, respect for ourselves and others, a love of learning and knowledge, hard work, honesty, and an awareness of the constant care of beings who did not let us give up in difficult times. Over all these years, we have met many people at our company premises in Zbiczno. Our visitors included not only sales representatives and our regular wholesale customers. We often welcomed whole families with small children, too. It saddened us that we often lacked the facilities to give our visitors a proper welcome. On many occasions, planned courtesy visits for business purposes turned into pleasant get-togethers lasting several hours, over coffee and cakes. The setting, however, was hardly businesslike :) It is true that we have not worked in a basement for several years — for a change, we are now based in an attic. Until quite recently, we naively thought that things were fine as they were. But at the beginning of this year, something happened that seriously disrupted our comfort zone. A customer came to see us and completely changed the way we looked at our business. The gentleman in question confidently walked into our attic and, right from the doorway, placed a standard order for controllers. But when he saw all the other projects in progress on our desks, he asked what seemed like a simple question: “What else do you have?” Our first thought was: “Actually, nothing, just controllers” (unfortunately, years of tightening screws and cable glands had taken their toll). A moment later, though, we stopped to think. “Wait, wait — we have so much to offer! The whole warehouse is filled, in neat rows, with our products, prototypes and peripheral devices. Everything is beautifully catalogued and .... hidden from the world. What we could not bring ourselves to do — or, to put it another way, what we had not had the courage to do for many years — we will now accomplish in just a few weeks. We are opening our private showroom to the world. On just under 40 square metres, we will build display models featuring our products and complementary equipment. Alongside the controllers, there will be alarm control panels and indicators, fans, actuators, sensors, winches, cable pulleys and many other products that deserve to be on display. We began the renovation on Monday 26 March 2018. Fortunately, we are no longer doing the renovation ourselves (as we used to), so there is a chance the work will progress quickly. And afterwards — we look forward to seeing you here for coffee and cakes :)
