Refco celebrates 45 years of quality manufacturing
By Ilana Koegelenberg To celebrate its development as well as manufacturing in the global HVAC & R industry since 1972, Refco held an event in Switzerland on 14 – 15 September 2017, inviting more than 100 guests from 30 different countries.
The team decided that instead of waiting five years for the customary landmark, they would rather celebrate the exceptional 45-year occasion with customers, business partners, and employees alike. The management of Refco took the opportunity to thank everybody involved in its success story for their contribution in making it happen.
“ Long-lasting relationships in over 80 countries, together with the renowned Swiss-quality Refco products, have made this brand a worldwide landmark in the industry,” explained Manfred P Ulrich, CEO of the company. Today, more than 95 % of Refco’ s total sales are exported.“ Customer-orientated solutions, certified quality, and international approvals are but a few contributors to the company’ s global success.”
Expansion into new markets is not complete, Ulrich explained.“ On the basis of sound financial resources, the company is optimistic about the future. Based on newly developed products in attractive designs, this will ensure that the focus is on the delivery of top-quality products and components.”
