Your advantages through heroal certifications


Reinforcement of high quality standards

Use heroal certifications in your daily communication to boost the high quality standard of your production and your products. In addition, certifications serve as certificates of conformity for non-regulated construction products and techniques.

Improved communication with customers and marketing

Certificates create trust with your customers and may positively influence their buying decisions. You can use a number of the certificates and quality seals achieved by heroal and also the awards presented to heroal for your marketing activities and daily communication with your customers.

Competitive differentiation

Stand out from the competition and benefit from certificates and quality seals which other companies in the market cannot use in their communication with customers.

Creating trust – fast, easily

Achieving a certification may take quite some time sometimes. As one of heroal’s specialist partners, you can use a lot of the certifications and quality seals achieved by heroal or join an existing certification with no additional effort.

Joining certifications

For example, as a heroal system taker, you can join the ift certification for warp-reducing components and benefit not only from marking your products with the „ift-certified“ label, but also from heroal training options and assembly instructions.
