The Verosol Group continues to innovate and renew.
The key focus regarding innovation lies in the following fields:

Fabric developments

This includes the development of new types of fabric for the Verosol Group, but also the improvement of the current types of fabric.

Development of the operating systems

Verosol continuously strives for even better, more innovative and more advanced operating systems. Research is also carried out to establish if the current hardware can be improved.

Process developments

Obviously the production process of Verosol is also regularly reviewed. Structurally the aim is to increase the quality of the products and to reduce the costs, of course without any adverse effects on the quality. Verosol is furthermore continuously investing in a clean and energy efficient production process.

Improvement of the technical support of the sales department

For example through the provision of (scientific) reports.

Quality control

Our products and production process are regularly tested. On all production batches standard process inspections are carried out, such as the adhesion of the aluminium and fire-retardance.
