The Steel Fabricated Parts Factory belonging to the Electroalfa Group, is updating its range of products and services, by developing integrated solutions and products, necessary during this pandemic period. The concept, the design and the execution are provided by the Electroalfa team, using our own technologies. The first items manufactured in this range are the visors.

„The first batch of visors was completed and donated as a matter of urgency, at the request of the ISU (The Inspectorate for Emergency Situations) and of the Border Police, in order to help them with a qualitative product, easy to use and tailored to fit the requirements. We wish that all the first-line responders are protected, so the production of visors shall continue for those who need them. Furthermore, COVID-19 has led us to identify integrated solutions and products that could bring extra security to people in their daily activity.” said Gheorghe Ciubotaru, President of the Administrative Board, Electroalfa.

After manufacturing the visors, the disinfection mat trays are ready to be distributed. These are executed in compliance with our clients’ requirements or according to our standards and can be employed both for internal use, as well as for external use, following the orders of the market.

A complex product we currently work on, which is now close to completion, is The disinfection tunnel with an option to automatically measure and monitor the temperature.  We expect to launch this product on the market in mid May, this year.

Given the development of the new products with a focus on the medical sector, on the personal security and health, we have established a partnership with a Romanian company experienced in advanced systems designed for the medical sector. With their help, Electroalfa shall develop integrated systems that would make the work of the medical staff much easier, contributing to a better care of the patients in hospitals, and products such as sterilizing equipment. These systems and products are in various stages of implementation and shall become available as swiftly as possible.

Electroalfa is a strong brand, built in 29 years of experience by a dedicated team, made by people who put energy, passion and their souls into each professional or social project. The Electroalfa specialists are aware that only through ongoing learning, one can deliver valuable products and innovating services. The human force and the advanced technologies are working together in order to offer new high-quality  Electroalfa products which at the same time can be easily adapted to market requirements.

A project started in 2018 for which the construction works began in November 2019 is close to completion. The new Medium Voltage Production Factory will become operational on 15 May and, on the 1^st of July, it will operate at full capacity.

The built area of the factory exceeds 8000 square meters and will include a production area, as well as an office area.

Through the automated technologies we implement at the Medium Voltage Production Factory, the productivity and quality of medium voltage products will be greatly improved. The new infrastructure will allow an increase in the capacity to manufacture Compact Transformer Substations (CTSs) from approx. 20 pieces per month to approx. 80 CTSs per month. Production capacity will also increase for the Primary Distribution Switchgear (PDS) to 80 pieces per month, and the Secondary Distribution Switchgear (SDS) will reach 230 pieces per month.

A new range of products, E-House, will be offered to Electroalfa’s partners as of 2020. We have invested in equipment and technologies that provide our customers with products at a very high quality standard. Depending on their diversity and complexity, Electroalfa will be able to manufacture approx. 40 containers per month, estimating that most of this quantity will be for export.

Among the new equipment and technology, we can highlight the following:

1. Semi-automatic casting line for precast elements for concrete CTSs enclosures
2. Semi-automatic assembly line for Medium Voltage Primary Distribution Switchgear (PDS)
3. Semi-automatic assembly line for Medium Voltage Secondary Distribution Switchgear (SDS)
4. Manufacturing line for Metal Shelters (cutting/welding/sandblasting/painting equipment)

The works for the new investment are performed at an extensive scale during this period, and the total investment will eventually exceed EUR 8.4 million.

The Institute Kaizen România (KIRO) held in Botoșani the 38^th edition of Kaizen Manager Club session, on “Harmonious Management”; Electroalfa proved to its guests (company managers, top managers in the private and public sector), present in great numbers, that this concept may be successfully implemented.

Kaizen Institute is a global consultancy and training organization, fostering the continuous performance improvement management of the employees and companies operating in Europe, America, Asia-Pacific and Africa. The events organized, such as “Manager Club”, promote the best practices to be applied by companies and create the appropriate framework necessary to address the specific management problems within organizations.

The topic of today’s meeting pointed out how to achieve performance in a stress-free work environment, but the managers’ role in the achievement of the targeted performance was also broached. The debates also included a visit to the Metal Factory, part of Electroalfa Group, where guests from all over the country (managers of several top companies located in Oradea, Cluj, Brașov, Alba-Iulia, București, Iași, Suceava), representatives of several mayor’s offices (Buzău, Cluj), as well as representatives of the most prestigious companies of Botoșani had the opportunity to notice how Kaizen principles support the management teams to reach a higher improvement level, up to creating a balance between people and technology. The recent investments made to extend the production capacity, the latest machinery and equipment, the concern for the working, safety conditions and for the product quality, together with the transparent, performance-oriented management and development of people, determined the visitors to commend the efforts made by the company to achieve performance in the Romanian business environment.

Electroalfa took part, in the period 8-10 November, to the first edition of Energy Business Forum 16+1, which was held in Bucharest, Willbrook Platinum Convention Center. The event was organized by the Romanian Center of energy (CRE) with the support of the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bucharest. 

Beside other local companies in the energetic field, members of the Romanian Energy Center (CRE),  Electroalfa welcomed the international delegations at its own stand, located in the area of Romanian companies. Some of the largest Chinese companies in the energetic field were present, as well as representatives of energetic companies from Central and Eastern Europe and high officials from these countries. 

“We had the opportunity to take part to a dynamic platform of discussions at a regional level, where important subjects for the energy market were discussed. Taking into account the current challenges in the field, cooperation is the key of development for new energetic project. The Chinese companies wish to get involved in the region of Central and Eastern Europe by direct investments and know-how and technology transfer, and Electroalfa can be a European partner, with expertise in providing EPC Contractor. solutions” Gheorghe Ciubotaru, President of Electroalfa Group, a speaker at the Energy Business Forum 16+1.
