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.
