By the end of the decade, JSL had established its first factory and developed new product lines, especially for low voltage electrical installations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While initially focused on the national market and ex-colonies, JSL recognized the opportunities presented by Portugal&#8217;s entry into the European Union in the 1980s. Despite the challenges of exporting during a period of economic recession, rising imports, and increasing foreign debt, JSL invested in a new factory, expanded its product lines, and developed a new strategy to reach foreign markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JSL&#8217;s investment paid off, and the company gained recognition and success in the international market. Today, JSL is a well-established and respected global brand, with a reputation for producing high-quality electrical materials. The company&#8217;s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction continues to drive its success, building on the foundations laid by the Thorbj\u00f6rnsen family over fifty years ago.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;STRUCTURING THE OFFER AND PLACING IT ON THE MARKET&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:center&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1570181353906{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221; style=&#8221;double&#8221; el_width=&#8221;80&#8243; accent_color=&#8221;#f8ac19&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1570181361773{margin-top: -15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16894 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/jsl-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CabazProdutosInstitucional_long-400x400.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jsl-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CabazProdutosInstitucional_long-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/jsl-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CabazProdutosInstitucional_long-280x280.png 280w, https:\/\/jsl-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CabazProdutosInstitucional_long.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>JSL has a strong global presence in over 50 countries, offering a diverse range of high-quality products for electrical and telecommunications installations, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photovoltaic shields<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switchgear<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cabinets for telecommunications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Column enclosures<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watertight enclosures, cable glands, and connectors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boxes for indoor installation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gutters and accessories<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rails for pipes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plugs and industrial sockets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fixing material<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy distribution boards and ICT boxes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pipes and accessories<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JSL takes great pride in the quality of its products, and has been certified with the ISO 9001:2015 standard for its Quality Management System since 1993, making it one of the first companies in Portugal to achieve this.
