Summary:
Envirofit International (www.envirofit.org) is a multi-national corporation headquartered in Colorado, USA, with a mission to develop and disseminate technologies that reduce pollution and enhance energy efficiency in developing countries. The company develops and distributes well-engineered energy products for low-income markets that have traditionally been overlooked. The development of products and markets is a rigorous process that requires design, validation, manufacturing, quality control, supply chain management, distribution, inventory management and marketing.

Envirofit is continually developing products to meet sector demands and has a relentless focus on quality, durability and customer service.
