Employer Description:Elfab’s history (North Shields, UK)
Founded in 1946 in the North East of England, Elfab was originally named Torday Ltd after the company’s Hungarian founder Laszlo Torday. The company originally manufactured nickel foils using innovative electrofabrication methods. The foils were initially used to refurbish marine engineering equipment, and later in the rupture disc business.
During the 1970s, the company purchased a local rupture disc manufacturing division called FA Hughes Ltd. As a result of this acquisition, the company was renamed Elfab Hughes – Elfab being an abbreviation of “electrofabrication.” Elfab’s first rupture disc – the RB76 – hit the market in 1976.
In 1993 the company was acquired by Halma plc. In 1994 it acquired the R Jenkins graphite rupture disc business and shortened its name to simply “Elfab.” Elfab began working alongside Oseco in the early 2000s, and both companies rebranded to show their linked identities.Working Hours :Monday - Friday, 8.30am - 4.30pmSkills: Communication skills,IT skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Customer care skills,Administrative skills,Team working,Initiative....Read more...
