My corrective eye surgery was 25 years ago and now I should get a pair of glasses for when I drive. At least the eye doctor sees it that way, and he sees better than I do! It can't be that hard, I imagine, and I visit a known provider on the internet. After all, you don't need to look around forever just for a pair of driving glasses.
I briefly want to share an experience with a model German company, version 4.0, on which not only we, but many other companies are dependent, in a sense. Which company? Keywords: building automation, combined heat and power plants, fire alarm systems.
If a company really doesn't want to know what their customers think, then an external call centre is a great solution to shield you. Such a call centre can be in Berlin or in India, that's legal.
When I founded my company with 16 or 17, I still had recorded announcements, or rather: an answering machine (for the millennials: back then, this was basically like a mailbox). Because I was alone in the office, you know, if at all (as I had to go to school occasionally).
At first I thought it would simply just go away. But it didn't go away. We all have to deal with it.
When I started my career, my company moved at least every 2 years. But over the past 11 years we have stayed at the same location. Not because we did not grow any further, but because we constantly bought (or expanded) land and buildings.
Just like at the beginning of every year, it's time to have a quick look back at what we achieved together in 2017. For the first time in one year, Jarltech has generated orders for more than 250 million euros, which corresponds to a growth of more than 16%. A big thank you here to all our dealers, employees and suppliers!
