In Spain, Sugimat is the only company with an ERK license « ERK has entrusted us to use its brand, its know-how of more than seven decades in this sector, and also its international prestige to manufacture, from now on, our boilers, » Mas has added. An opinion also shared by Dr. Jürgen Peterseim, Director of Strategy & New Products at ERK: “Quality and expertise are of highest importance to ERK and Sugimat fulfilled these criteria perfectly. Additionally, in the negotiations both management teams got to know each other well and developed a good chemistry and working relationship.
