The window – a frequently used metaphor in art. It allows for outlook, foresight, and insight. Three qualities that perfectly reflect what EgoKiefer stands for.
On average, employees stay with EgoKiefer for 15 years. An impressive level of loyalty that brings the company crucial advantages: “Our people have extensive experience. They know what matters. They know the products. They know the market,” says Danny Weidensdorfer, Head of Service at EgoKiefer. A promising outlook on both sides: employees feel valued by their employer, and in return, the company benefits from long-term know-how.
The company’s range of services extends from consultation and planning to installation of windows and doors – and beyond. “Thanks to our many locations, we’re present in all regions of Switzerland and can therefore meet the specific requirements of local markets in the best possible way,” says Weidensdorfer. Local presence is a key factor in their success. “We have on-site contacts. When it comes to questions, concerns, or challenges, our customers want personal contact. And that’s exactly what we offer them.”
Innovation is core business
The company is on track – and constantly looking for new ideas for maintaining and repairing windows and doors. Outstanding service is a top priority at EgoKiefer. Just like at EgoKiefer, innovation is also at the core of GLASSRESQ. Foresight and vision – that’s what connects the two companies. Both are always seeking ways to expand their offerings. GLASSRESQ Managing Director Dominic Duer approached Weidensdorfer at a trade fair 2.5 years ago. “We quickly realized – it was a great fit,” Weidensdorfer recalls. “Just like us, GLASSRESQ is open-minded, innovative, and motivated to take on new challenges across Switzerland.”
Easywrap, a liquid film that protects surfaces and objects during construction, installation, and transport, is one such example. With this product, GLASSRESQ recently made a real breakthrough in the construction industry. Easywrap is easy to apply to elements and can later be removed without hassle. “That’s a huge advantage,” says Weidensdorfer about GLASSRESQ’s innovation. The product’s potential – it’s enormous.
The timing of the collaboration is no coincidence. Weidensdorfer explains that renovation is becoming increasingly important in the construction sector. “Now it’s time to renovate the buildings constructed over the past few decades.” If a visually appealing facade needs work, one that’s complex in design, a lot of manpower, a crane – maybe even a helicopter – might be required. Such endeavors can become very costly, he says. “That’s where GLASSRESQ products and services come in: damage can be resolved with minimal effort – for example, through polishing.” This solution clearly resonates with customers. They want options with an excellent price-performance ratio.
Weidensdorfer notes: “If you have a glass scratch repaired by GLASSRESQ on the 6th floor, it costs about ten to twelve times less than a complete glass replacement. Choosing to replace a pane of glass prematurely is like throwing money out the window.”
GLASSRESQ offers everything from a single source
GLASSRESQ is more than just a rescue partner for EgoKiefer. “Whenever we need a repair somewhere in Switzerland, we want to know there’s a partner behind it we can trust – and count on long-term. GLASSRESQ is that kind of partner.” Another advantage: GLASSRESQ offers everything from a single source. With its sister company AXIS Project, window profiles made of aluminum, wood, and PVC can also be repaired.
When asked about future challenges, Weidensdorfer states with confidence: “In the future, our EgoKiefer WindowDoorService will increasingly focus on renovation and refurbishment. That’s where we’ll find our space together with GLASSRESQ – to offer our customers the best service possible.”
