When H\u00e9\u00f0inn moved its operations to Gj\u00e1hellan at the end of the year
\nIn 2008, the decision was made to take the best possible care and to promote
\ntidiness on the company's premises. That did not just apply to the front which
\nTurns to the customers, but not without first looking after the backload. \u201eThe plot is 30,000 square metres and it is important to have everything in order there and
\na rule for arranging tasks and equipment in an accessible way. It saves
\ntime and increases efficiency and overview, and reduces waste. It can be said that
\nthat good manners are a very good investment\u201c <\/i>says Ragnar Sverrisson
\nManaging Director of H\u00e9\u00f0inn. For many, all sorts of metal items and equipment
\nPerhaps not a sight to behold, but with good organisation, you can make the best of it.
\nHowever, there is nothing of the sort to be seen at the front, and every effort is made there to
\nImprove the environment with good upkeep and greenery. Ragnar says that it has made a big difference.
\nthat Ask Architects, who designed the house at Gj\u00e1hellu, have emphasised
