Aug21592 EV International wishes to show the world by leading from the front how it can improve the health and quality of life for everyone everywhere simply by making its product part of their cleaning routine. As well as the ability to clean up the general build-up of grime and bacteria on surfaces, it can also reduce the risk of triggering allergic reactions by clearing up the allergens that sling to various surfaces, making short work of toxic pollutants. Additionally, by replacing chemical products with an eco-friendly alternative like EV International’s steam cleaners, a client can reduce 95% of the chemical footprint created by the production of these single-use or limited-use cleaning supplies and plastic materials that so often find their way into landfill. Operating with preparation and dedication in all things, it conducts a masterclass of ‘show don’t tell’ when it comes to its products, allowing them to speak for themselves. In tandem with all of this, the EV International cleaning system range is highly adaptive and tailorable; this company knows that no two households are the same, and so no two households will require the same cleaning solutions, as each face different challenges depending on their routine. Each new client is introduced to the range, the company, and the team, allowing them to test the products and go through training on how to use them before they commit to anything. Also, its sales representatives benefit from the full support of the wider company when it comes to making sales, including marketing materials, access to an ERP system, and full use of the huge knowledge base made up of its global network. Thanks to each of these different facets of its business, a client can choose models and accessories that suit them best. With this in mind, it is easy to see how this company has quickly become a darling of its industry, conducting itself with the quality, innovation, and ecological drive of a company set in good stead to help shape the future of its wider industry. This has allowed it to take consistently great pride in the products it sells. After all, each and every one of them has been a passion project right from the beginning of the ideation stage, and it continually shows this through its commitment to updating its products as and when it is necessary to do so. By incorporating any new developments into its plans and testing them in a comprehensive manner, it is able to implement only the best of the best when it comes to such new ideas, resulting in products that are emblematic of the market’s foremost innovations. Recently, this has meant working with technologies that increase the functionality of its steam generators and evolving the cleaning process in order to reduce carbon emissions and better the entire production line as a direct result, something it promises it customers will always benefit form. EV Atlantis, EV Poseidon, and EV Atlas each captivate the customer’s minds with one-of-a-kind features, great design, and stellar performance. Every detail of each of these units has been carefully and painstakingly designed by its incredible in-house research and development team in order to make them a marriage of all the best things about the household cleaning industry. This includes enhancing the durability of the product, bolstering the effectiveness of the clean it gives, and increasing the convenient user-friendliness of the designs to allow the product to reach even the most difficult areas to get to in a building or domicile. In this manner, everything about EV International as a company has been similarly rigorously designed so that it can guarantee the excellence of the product. From the individual components to the assembly process, and the finished dry steam generators, each element is subjected to the most effective quality control that it can possibly implement within the manufacturing plant. Each of its staff members know what to look out for when it comes to what its products need to look like and accomplish, able to whip any defects off of the manufacturing line before they make it into a final product. It is this eye for detail and the increased digitisation in the company proper that has created and environment where every minute part is engineered to perfection. Additionally, with an internal culture that revolves around helping and supporting each other through thick and thin, EV International has cultivated a tightly knit and empathic team of people who make each and every one of these processes possible. Despite the incorporation of further automation within itself, the driving force of the manufacturing line and production is still the people, with each staff member’s ideas and opinions being highly valued when it comes to the creation of new products, or the reworking of existing lines. It doesn’t shy away from sharing knowledge and know-how, instead encouraging an atmosphere of constant upskilling and learning. This allows each one of its customers and staff alike to benefit from a depth and breadth of knowledge, and from learning form people from all walks of life with a myriad of different perspectives that could be applied to resolve a specific problem or challenge. In addition to this, and alongside its high-quality steam cleaners, it also shows its dedication to the people within its organisation by keeping them up to date with wider industry trends. Crucially, made possible by the founders and team, EV International keeps a finger on the pulse of the ever-changing market in which it operates so that everyone within its ranks has a comprehensive knowledge of the current goings-on, able to display a great understanding of what makes the market tick. Just another part of the upskilling it can offer within its ranks, its full package of training, services, technical support, integration, comprehensive vision, and exemplary work structure for distributors and partners alike secures its place as standing head and shoulders above the competition. To ensure this remains the case, it holds regular meetings to ensure the information is able to permeate the ranks. By working in this manner – and conducting a mass collection of customer feedback once a year – it is able to collate information on what it needs to work on and consistently better itself as a result. Additionally, this ensures that despite its constant growth and expansion, it can keep the quality that its customers have come to know and love reliable across the board. Internally, it also likes to mix work with fun. One or twice a year depending on how busy things are, EV International likes to have a whole staff get-together and invite every team member to a variety of exotic excursions that give everyone a much needed and very well-earned break. In essence, this is to thank everyone for working so hard, and to encourage further depth of interpersonal connection within the ranks, fostering a sense of connection, mutual learning, and true human connection that can be hard to achieve during a standard workday. With lofty goals and a bright future ahead, EV International looks forward to one day changing the future standards of cleaning. By gazing ahead to how it may best shape the future, it can guide the present of its industry towards this, and in the next ten years it will be reaching for the next milestone of becoming a well-known brand in the direct and active sales industry, as well as in steam cleaning generator manufacture. This will, in the coming years, allow it to expand into a total of 50 countries, whilst still maintaining the diligence and tenacity that a smaller company can show each and every one of its customers.
