THE COATED WIRE THAT LED THE WAY In the late 40 s Elfa developed a technique of coating steel wires with a special plastic, which made the products hygienic and less rust-prone. This invention was ground breaking in the industry! Shortly thereafter products like the Elfa dish rack, shoe rack and wire drawers were very common sights in Swedish homes as well as across Europe. Today, the coated wire has become one of the most significant symbols for Elfa worldwide. It is used in wire shelves and baskets, as well as in the relaunch of the wellknown and appreciated shoe rack, to name just a few. NEW! Elfa Shoe rack, 2018 edition. In the early days Elfa wire products were produced by hand. Today the production in Västervik (Sweden) and Koszalin (Poland) is highly modern and automated and every year over 2 million wire products are produced and distributed to consumers all over the world.
