As a matter of

TRAINING AND ONLINE TOOLS On top of marketing services, Mounting Systems provides a wide range of training offers. Often, new customers are invited to the company’s showroom in Cologne, where a big installation space allows them to see and feel the brackets and clamps of the systems live. During collaborations, the firm will send out an expert team to train sales staff at new branches, while also offering free online courses as well as planning and layout tools. “Every product needs a layout regarding wind load and static configuration; we offer the training and pay the license for our customers to use the required planning programme,”
