We already informed you about the vivid legal work of our managerial staff in several associations and committees. Helmut Friedrich, managing director of ASO Safety Solutions, for instance is board member of the Bundesverband Tore (BVT), assessor of the BAS.T (Bundesverband Antriebs- und Steuerungstechnik Tore) and the German delegate of the standards group ISO/TC 199 for tactile safety sensors in Europe.

But also René Heydorn, ASO Sales Director, is head of the working group marketing of the BAS.T and tries to establish sustainable changes in the market.

Now: Andreas Holz, Sales Manager BeNeLux, UK and Ireland, was elected chairman of the DHF gate group. The DHF (Door and Hardware Federation) is an association of British door and gate manufacturers and for related hardware as well.

“In my eyes it is not about lobbying. We don´t want to maximize profit by enacting silly laws.  The accidents in the past demonstrate that safety at doors and gates must not be left to chance. Just imagine, the usage of seat belts in cars was nothing more than a well-intentioned advice.”, Holz points out.

Let us keep fingers crossed for our guys!
