Anco Storage Equipment Ltd receive FIRA Gold product certification

Trade only storage wall manufacturer, Anco Storage, has been awarded FIRA Gold Product Certification for their FREEWALL storage wall system. They are the first storage wall manufacturer in the UK to achieve this recognition.
Freewall offers unlimited scope to create efficient storage systems that are flexible in design so they can be from floor to ceiling and wall to wall, maximizing the amount of space available whilst creating visually stunning environments.
FIRA Gold Product Certification provides a mark of excellence for furniture products, signifying that products are of a high quality and produced at a consistently high standard.
This has been achieved through continual investment in the manufacturing process. Keeping everything in-house has enabled them to produce cost effective solutions, on time and to the highest standards.
The initial product assessment of Freewall was in-depth, objective and thorough. Workmanship, ergonomics, strength and stability, as well as finish performance and effects of atmosphere on the product were examined by FIRA. The assessment also involved an audit of the Anco Storage factory in Billingshurst, West Sussex.
The FIRA Gold Product Certification scheme is backed by an ongoing re-audit and re-test programme to ensure that having achieved FIRA Gold Certification, the standard is maintained. There is also an annual factory audit to ensure that the factory produces the product to the same standards as the original assessment of the furniture. This means a review of production procedures, design changes and an examination of the complaint record ensures that any adverse trends are spotted and resolved as soon as possible.
Mark Hurman – Director of Anco Storage said, “Receiving FIRA Gold Product Certification for our Freewall storagewall system is a fantastic achievement for us. We pride ourselves on our reputation for supplying high quality, competitively priced products with an unrivalled service within our industry. Our FIRA Gold Product Certification provides verification of this to our clients.”
