Official record for EFAFLEX: We are the fastest!

World Record Award

World Record Goal

Feels like a blink of an eye and the rapid roll-up door is open - at an unprecedented speed. With over 5 meters per second, the EFA-SRT® Flex opens faster than any other door before it – a world record!.

And since November 26th, it is also official: EFAFLEX builds the fastest door in the world. "This speed is impressive," explains Olaf Kuchenbecker from the Record Institute for Germany (RID), the German counterpart to the Guinness Book of Records. "Visually, it's a completely different world because you don't see this anywhere else."

The record-breaking door is based on EFAFLEX's patented spiral door technology, which guides the door leaf in a space-saving and almost wear-free manner. The design allows for extreme speeds as well as maximum safety and energy efficiency.

"The world record is not just a number for EFAFLEX, but also a clear statement of the company's development expertise, innovative strength, and pioneering spirit," says Norbert Höfner, Head of Development.

For the successful record, a team of five EFAFLEX employees took on the challenge to bring a lightweight door leaf to maximum speed in the shortest possible time and to safely brake it again within the same period. Just as the company's motto "fast and safe doors" states.

"With this pace, EFAFLEX is approaching the physically possible," says Kuchenbecker. "A speed limit has been reached that will be hard to top." However, throughout his long record-breaking career, he has also learned that nothing is impossible.

For now, the world's fastest door is not yet in series production, but EFAFLEX gains valuable insights for future developments. So that more people can experience this blink of an eye.
