A modern electrical installation People Relationships Innovation & Design The world we live in Torfs Torfs, one of Belgium’s largest shoe brands, and a family owned company, joined forces in 2012 with fifthplay to create a holistic energy management system. This because the world is changing rapidly and the cost of energy is rising. Stores need to be more energy efficient. Our Beginning Ever since the start almost 100 years ago, we have focused on improving existing, and inventing new solutions for a more modern electrical installation. In 1919, a modern electrical installation was one switch and one socket outlet in the main living room or kitchen. Today, houses and buildings are connected with networks and we are in the Internet of Things era. A constantly improving sector… Our end-users The end-user experiences first-hand the quality, intuitiveness and user-friendliness of what the group is offering the market. Our Installers We believe we will always need professional installers for modern electrical installations. Profiles can switch over time, but they will always be needed. We consider it our duty to prepare and guide the installers in an evolving landscape. Our specifiers Specifiers play a crucial role in defining what the end-users might need and want today, tomorrow and in the future. "If it is up to us, we will always choose to work with Niko products. Of course, it's not always our call to make. Engineering offices might use different criteria" - Mauro Popocini fifthplay meets Delta Zeeland The collaboration between Delta Zeeland and fifthplay that resulted in the 'Delta Comfort Wijzer' is a good example of that. This product enables people to monitor and reduce their energy consumption, while improving electrical comfort.
