SLOW TIME – THE RECIPE FOR EXCELLENCE
As Arthur Schopenhauer once said, “the nobler and more perfect a thing is, the later and more slowly does it mature.” The time allotted to us is the only vital variable that we’re not in control of, so let's make the most of it and enjoy it to the full!
A few years ago, ‘slow food’ appeared on the scene, giving a new lease of life to delicious, generous, traditional cuisine, taking into account the changing seasons and local produce. Other, similar initiatives are emerging: walks in the forest, the need to feel alive and capture the energy of hundred-year-old trees; more generally, we’re being drawn towards a return to nature and getting back to basics. Amid this kaleidoscope of activities, sleep remains a vital function, at the forefront of wellbeing, living better – and living longer.
Elite's guiding philosophy is fully in line with this return to authenticity and the cultivation of the art of slow living. Working
with traditional knowhow might seem like an anachronism in a global industry. But now as ever, patience, dexterity, and familiar gestures combined with technical skill, innovation and fine materials provide the guaranteed perfection and durability for which our products are renowned. Working with an ever more virtuous approach, we’ve commissioned solar panels, installed directly on our factory roof to produce all the electricity we need for our manufacturing – and more to spare. Now, the next phase is underway: the building will be heated by a heat pump powered by the electricity produced on site. These achievements underscore our eco-responsible commitment and make us one of the industry’s leaders in this respect. All of these efforts, combined with our local roots, have just earned us the VAUD+ label, a local distinction promoting companies that conduct their business in the canton sustainably and responsibly.
