CONSULTING FOR FOREIGN COMPANIES

In collaboration with Istituto Giordano, one of the most important centers of applied research, quality control and certification in Europe, Building Drops provides lab testing and consulting services to assist foreign manufacturers with establishing themselves in the U.S. market. The result of this partnership is a one-stop European center for testing, training, and education about the North American market.

Istituto Giordano, which has achieved ISO 17025 Certification, is recognized by various Quality Assurance and Certification Agencies in the U.S.

International Manufacturers benefit from a “turnkey” service catered to engineering and testing that will be recognized in North America. Our process enables clients to introduce their systems and products to distributors, architects, and glaziers in their target markets while ensuring full compliance with the standards and requirements of building officials. Through this transatlantic footprint, Building Drops’ lab testing services open up fantastic opportunities for the most innovative and cutting-edge European manufacturers, as well as for consumers in the U.S.

In addition to testing, we provide seminars and training sessions for European manufacturers, engineers, and glaziers to help them understand the differences between the European and American markets, including technical and cultural aspects. We also educate our clients on the full scope of the Building Code Compliance process, from the conceptual planning phase to installation, which is essential for selling products in any of the thriving U.S. markets.

Although U.S. standards and codes may be unfamiliar and daunting to European companies, we ensure that our clients are equipped with the resources and information they need to approach their target markets for windows, doors, facades, and other building products. Through these engagements, we provide our European clients with the necessary technical expertise to tailor their products to the particular needs and expectations of the North American markets, including Canada and the Caribbean islands. Additionally, Building Drops offers American manufacturers a gateway to Europe in the same way. Our collaboration with Giordano provides the necessary platform for American manufacturers to test to European standards and break into European markets with the knowledge and support they need to be successful there.
