ELORA yesterday, today and tomorrow
Since the founding of the company in the year 1924, a lot has changed in ELORA, the medium-
scale family-run enterprise.
What has remained the same is the goal
of offering customers a solid basis for the
success of their
businesses through a broad and practice-oriented range of tools.
No
wonder, then, that the premium brand ELORA is successful all over the
world today.
After all, the name represents all our knowledge and
ability related to development,
manufacture and sales of tools in the
best German industrial quality.
The most important guarantee of this are our highly qualified
and motivated employees,
who have at their disposal the most modern
production technologies at the ELORA location in Remscheid/Bergisches
Land.
They put in the same amount of passionate commitment every day so
that every ELORA tool becomes a reference piece,
a standard, of its
kind.
Stringent quality assurance management as well as continuous
investment in the development of new products
and the further
development of traditional products and
processes facilitate the
creation of certified top products in keeping with DIN EN ISO 9001:2001
at a consistently high level.
In the future too, ELORA will strive as hard as it can to
exceed the justifia
ble high expectations of its trading partners and
