CE MARKING

The high quality standard of the buildings structure is certified by CE marking: Astron products are in compliance with the EN1090-2 standard.
The CE marking is a mandatory conformity mark required for products placed on the market in the EU. It indicates that the product complies with the harmonized EN standard or the respective ETA (European Technical Approval).
Astron can affix the CE marking to its structural steel products: a real commercial benefit and a competitive advantage.

QUALITY CONTROL

Our products respect a list of detailed requirements - from materials, structural design, manufacturing (tolerances, welding, etc.), to erection. On customer demand, a declaration of conformity can be delivered.

How the story began

Over the past decades, our work at Astron has been in the pursuit of a single-minded goal: to constantly develop our skills and knowledge within what we now call simplifying construction. The path we chose in order to offer increased customer value has been based on quality, proximity and service using steel as the central theme.

By building a company philosophy based on the values of “neatness and order”, strong entrepreneurship and quick decisions, the conditions were created for the business model which has involved streamlined production, highly advanced distribution, together with a flow of innovations and constant awareness of the needs and wishes of our customers.

Astron's values are based on three key phrases: Simplifying construction, Down to earth and Customer success, which are as true today as throughout the long history.
