During the sector's pioneering age, Elchim manufactured, for its own production, all necessary components such as motors, resistors, plugs, switches, etc. thus gaining a state-of-the-art technology over the years. Today Elchim designs and builds very high quality appliances. All products are Made In Italy. Elchim products are used and appreciated all over the world. Elchim electrical hand-dryers are used on board the ETR trains of the last generation and installed in the base of Terranova in Antartide by the Italian Scientific Expedition.
