history
The entrepreneurs Manfred Seysen, Gabrijel Rejc and Gustav Meyer founded the Efaflex Tor- und Sicherheitssysteme GmbH & Co. KG on January 1st, 1974. At first, swing gates with plastic curtains were produced and sold. In 1976, the company brought the first swing gate with an electric drive and transparent strip curtains onto the market.
After the death of the co-founder Gustav Meyer, Manfred Seysen took over the sales division. Gabrijel Rejc was henceforth responsible for technology, development and construction.
At the end of the 1970s, the world's first high-speed door was designed by Efaflex and marketed for the first time. The family company brought the first high-speed roller door onto the market in 1987. Five years later, Efaflex also received the patent for the spiral door.
In 2002 Christopher Seysen took over the management of sales from his father; Petra Rejc took over from her father in 2008.
Today's business areas
Efaflex manufactures spiral, roller, folding, clean room, freezer and machine protection doors, among other things. In the course of the company's history, the door manufacturer's engineers have received more than 30 patents for their developments. Today the company is the world market leader in the field of high-speed industrial doors. One focus is in particular on the production of spiral doors in which the door leaf is not wound onto a shaft, as was previously the case, but is kept at a distance in a spiral to save space. The spiral body is constructed in such a way that the slats of the door leaf move past each other without contact. As a rule, circular round spirals are used. If there is only little space above the door, space-saving variants such as the oval spiral or the low-headroom version are used.
Branches
According to its own information, Efaflex has been selling its doors in 53 countries since 2009. The company therefore sells its products in almost every fourth country in the world. Efaflex currently has international subsidiaries in Belgium , Austria , Slovenia , the Czech Republic , Poland , Russia , China , Great Britain and Switzerland . Design and production are located in Bruckberg in Bavaria and partly in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana and in Olsi in the Czech Republic.
