The final phase of preparation is underway

Preparations for WorldSkills 2026 in Shanghai, where Tjalfe will represent Denmark in the tiling trade, are now well underway. The work has entered its final phase, and the goal is clear: Tjalfe must be as well-prepared as possible when the competition begins in China.

Focus on time and quality

Last week, Tjalfe worked on the WorldSkills competition task from Lyon 2024. Special attention was paid to the importance of time and quality during performance - both highly essential elements in the competition. Progress in both areas has been strong, and the overall assessment is that Tjalfe is in a very good position as he enters the final stage of his preparations.

The final important steps before departure

The preparations continue with several important activities in the coming days. This weekend, Tjalfe attended a national team training camp in Middelfart, followed by just one final training week in week 37 before the team departs for China.

This underlines just how close WorldSkills now is and how much attention is being given to the final details at this stage. The training is not only about maintaining a high standard of craftsmanship, but also about being ready to perform under immense pressure during the competition.

Many hours of training lie behind the progress

Behind Tjalfe’s preparations are many hours of dedicated training, concentration and a strong determination to keep improving. The progress he has made throughout his journey is promising and reflects a competitor who is approaching the challenge with determination and focus.

Tjalfe is therefore well-prepared to represent Denmark on the international stage, where craftsmanship, precision and the ability to stay calm under pressure will all be decisive.

Alfix is the main sponsor of the Danish tiling trade

At Alfix, we follow Tjalfe’s preparations closely and with great pride. As the main sponsor of the Danish tiling trade, our support for Tjalfe is part of our ambition to contribute to talent development, professional pride and strong craftsmanship within the trade.

Through our involvement in WorldSkills, we spotlight the next generation of skilled craftsmen, and the high standards represented by the Danish tiling trade.

The countdown to Shanghai has begun

Very soon Tjalfe and the Danish team travel to Shanghai. The countdown has truly begun, and the final preparations all point in one direction: WorldSkills 2026!

Over the past two years, Fredrik has worked closely with Alfix’s customers in Sweden, including both distributors and contractors. As a Technical Consultant in the Stockholm-Mälardalen area, he helps ensure that solutions do not just work in theory, but also in practice on the construction site.

Solutions focused on functionality and quality

For Fredrik, it is important that technical consultancy is based on the specific task and the actual conditions on site. At Alfix, the focus is on developing project-specific solutions where functionality, quality and usability go hand in hand.

“At Alfix, we can develop project-specific solutions with a focus on functionality and on what actually works on site. We do not compromise on quality.”

Adapting into a changing market

One of the things that has surprised Fredrik most since joining Alfix is the company’s ability to navigate a market that is constantly evolving. Customer expectations are changing, environmental requirements are becoming stricter, and the demands placed on products and systems are increasing.

“Even so, Alfix succeeds in adapting effectively without losing sight of the long-term perspective,” says Fredrik.

“A market that is constantly changing requires a willingness to adapt, whether it concerns customer expectations for products, environmental requirements or systems, and Alfix does this very effectively. We have a long-term strategy, and that creates confidence in our work.”

With tasks including social media, website content, printed materials, packaging design, order processing, and customer service, Mia has become part of a working day where collaboration, responsibility, and variety go hand in hand.

A broad role with responsibility

Mia applied for the position at Alfix because she was drawn to the combination of a broad marketing role and Alfix’s values as a family-owned company. The opportunity to take on responsibility and work across multiple areas was one of the things that caught her interest.

Today, Mia works across large parts of the marketing area, from content for social media and the website to graphic materials, print, and packaging. At the same time, she supports the internal sales team with order processing and customer service whenever needed.

For Mia, it is especially the varied nature of the workday and the broad range of contacts across the organization that make the job exciting.

“No two days are ever the same, and that is exactly what I love. There are many different tasks, and there is always something to get involved in.”

A strong culture from day one

One of the things that has made the biggest impression on Mia during her first time at Alfix is the company culture and the way she was welcomed.

“You are made to feel incredibly welcome. Everyone greets each other, helps each other, and you quickly feel like part of the family.”

At Alfix, we are delighted to have Mia on the team and look forward to our continued collaboration.

A little about Mia

In her private life, Mia lives in Christiansfeld with her partner and their son, who is one and a half years old. When she is not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family and with her horse, which gives her space to unwind. She also enjoys exploring second-hand shops, watching a good movie, and relaxing with a cup of coffee. And if she gets to choose, she is always happy to skip straight to dessert.

Mia describes herself as a happy and active person who values great experiences, exercise, creative details, and time with the people she cares about.

Soon the Christmas peace will settle in. In a family-owned company like ours, Christmas means something truly special – a time filled with warm traditions and space for togetherness.
Now it’s time to slow down and enjoy time with those we care about.
