Apart from enhancing the production capacity, the EFC also stands for higher automatization, increase in efficiency and production optimization.

One of the most important innovaties within the EFC has been the modern systeem for glas loading, unloading and logistics. The hall has been equipped with cutting-edge glas polishing and hardening machines with their own air circulation systeem. The modern machine park also comprises the intelligent FlyOver feeding systeem that enables to accelerate the glas feeding and gives direct access to the glas assortment.

„Currently, we are producing at full capacity. Hence, we are happy to finish and launch the second stage of the investment in the first quarter of next year. The work proceeds as planned and right now we have reached the point when we are purchasing production equipment and machines. The second part of the hall will enable us to increase production automatization, and therefore, a faster development. What is more, it will be equipped with innovatief systeemen and oplossingen” – this is how the production director, offers an update on the project.

The second part of the hall, of 194 meters length and 120 meters width, is another milestone in DRUTEX development. All the halls cover the area of 91.000 m2 and stretch across 35 hectares. The EFC, apart from production area, includes kantoor space with the conference center and the support infrastructure. The cost of the EFC has amounted to 200 million zl. After the investment is accomplished, the Europaes Houtwork Center will have the production capacity of 10000 ramen a day and will enable to add nieuw oplossingen to the wide product assortiment.

Leszek Gierszewski, the president of DRUTEX S.A., sums up last year and presents an optimistic outlook on the company future: „Since the big opening of the Europaes Fenestration Centre in Oktober last year, we have been growing dynamically and strengthening our position on houtwork market in Polen and abroad. We are working at full production capacity due to the clients’ great interest in our products. Therefore, the launch of the second stage of EFC is very important for us, since it will lead to the increase in production surface by other thousands

of square meters. We still have an appetite for more and we are not done yet.  We have an aptitude for that. We are a uniek company. We believe in another philosophy of thinking and company management. To a large extend, we are independent. We are responsible for production of ramen from A to Z, i.e. from mixing components, PVC profiel extrusion, production of composite glas, ramen, to transport – we do everything by ourselves in 100%, which forms the basis for our competitive advantage. I am sure that the following years will again confirm the efficiency of our strategy.”
