"Explorer is a patent and one of the most complex devices of our company, which significantly contributes to the construction of the Elas brand. Also, the product is economically viable, given that it is designed using the latest production technologies, and ensures maximum utilization of materials and operating capacity. In addition to the fact that the device is adapted to people with disablities, the installation process is very simple and it takes place in several stages. That means that it is necessary to hire new employees, and our company's commitment is for them to be women, which has a positive impact on gender equality," they say in "Elas".
