M. Patrick TEUFACK

G.M of SOBAF Limited

Sir from where did the idea of creating sobaf come?
It is unemployment that made me have this idea. After having been layed off by METALU, I had no choice but to create my own company: Sobaf

Is it therefore your work at METALU that gave you the possibility to master aluminium?
I spent 8 years at METALU and that is what actually aloowed me to improve my knowledge of aluminium joinery.

Today you have succeeded where others have failed. What is your secret?
My secrets are hardwork and honesty. Those are the 2 kesy of success. We are sometimes obliged to have confidence in our associates andd simply supervise everything.

What advice can you give to those who take you as a model?
People had always thought that fixed salaries were the only way to success but they need to know how to take risks.

What are your worst memories as sobaf G.M?
It was sobaf start. The very first container that I ordered had an accident and crashed. We threw away everything and were unable to pay the supplier because we didn’t have any insurance policy.

Moreover, what are your best memories?
Sobaf success today is my best memory because I started with aluminium joinery but gradually I added glaziery, structural metalwork, wood joinery and civil engineering.
