About Us > The Admin Team
Our Admin Team

CARF Model’s very lean administration is responsible for the affordable prices of their product, even though it is packed with High Tech and one would expect the manufacturing process to be much more expensive than a wooden stick plane. Only a hand full of administrative individuals work internationally to serve you. Here we want to introduce to you our team, so that you know who you are dealing with.

 
Besides the general management of the company, Andreas is responsible for the production plant in Thailand, where also the design, moulding and prototyping of all CARF models takes place.

Centralized Administration
Our Great Advantage

Administrating world wide sales through one central admin office has a positive and negative aspects to it. The negatives are mainly that time and language differences have to be overcome and that a lot of communication has to be done through email and phone.

The positive sides, though, outweigh the negatives by far. Mainly because we have a very centralized interface for warehouse- salesrep- and customer-conversation. We can react quickly to expedite shipments, modify orders or solve problems. And we save a lot of cost, which is the key to being able to keep prices of a far superiour product at an affordable level. Even though possibly a bit more expensive than others, we are confident that our product and service are worth every dime and cent.
