How it started
It was by chance that Eduardo Fernandez started cleaning laundry rooms and offices in 1991, some side jobs he got through an acquaintance. He did so well that the “side gig” became more and more full time. Soon, Brother Raul came into the picture and the “banana peel” they had both had slipped on lead them squarely into the industry and eventually resulted in a joint company in 1997 – Efmab.
Today, the company has its head office in a red, charming wooden villa next to the old Älvsjö Gård and the few employees have become 100 employs and 200 people in thier resource pool.
