For his new re-built restaurant, a superlative piece of modern architecture facing the Adriatic sea, Mario Sabbatini had a problem: how to best shield customers from Sirocco winds and let them enjoy the sea-breeze on ordinary days.
You cannot compromise when facing the sea; you need sturdiness, reliability and easy operation.
The choice has obviously been in favour of our Svalson adjustable windscreens.
The screens have been designed to suit the curved terrace around the main building and were supplied with (optional) glass counterweights for complete transparency.
Customers are thus allowed full views, in all conditions, on the surrounding gardens, promenade, pier and open sea. |

The dates were 3rd and 4th of December 2008, when the second Cafe au Lä conference was held in Piteå, Sweden. Piteå is where the Svalson’s office and factories are located. Despite the global economic recession in 2008, the number of participating countries and companies almost doubled since the first conference.

Caffè Apuano were ill advised by previous suppliers for a totally enclosed structure encroaching on a public pedestrian precinct. With Café au Lä, they have now settled the matter and they're still able to offer their customers a roughly year-long service as before. Planning problems with the municipality have been brought to a satisfactory end. Massa has gained an elegant structure and Caffé Apuano has a better and more versatile outdoor space. And the staff are also thankful: adjusting the height is a child's play. |

Anna-Stina Nordmark Nilsson, vd för Företagarna i Sverige, invigde fredagen den 17:e oktober Svalsons nya lokal för Lä-produkter, Café au Lä, Cit i Lä och Siläncio. Samtidigt passade hon på att låta Svalson ta del av utmärkelsen ”Årets företagar-kommun”. Av 288 undersökta kommuner i landet, rankas nämligen Piteå på 21 plats - bäst i Norrbotten. Att utse Svalson som representant anser hon ha sitt klara berättigande. ”Vi lever i en tid där företagens förutsättningar kraftigt försvåras i form av längre betalningstider, med höjda räntor och sämre orderingång. Att då se ett företag med fortsatt hög lönsamhet och ökad omsättning och som dessutom satsar på en helt ny produktions-linje - det är unikt.”
Den nya lokalen på 800 m2 ligger vägg i vägg med huvudfabriken på 2500 m2 och där kommer den nya produktionslinjen att köras fullt ut.

France is an exciting market to enter for Swedish companies. The product name Café au Lä for Svalson’s unique adjustable terrace screen for restaurant is actually derived from a French popular drink, Café au Lait with a bit of Swedish twist on the ”Lä” which in Swedish means ”shelter from”.
It seems the French does not mind Svalson borrowing the word as the product Café au Lä is featured in a local Paris Magazine, La Revue des Comptoirs in its September 2007 issue. The product is being distributed in the French market by SARL Promozone. Their office is located in Jonquière Saint Vincent. |
