SuperSprings International Achieves TÜV Certification for SumoSprings in Europe

SuperSprings International, based in Carpinteria, California, has reached a notable milestone with the recent TÜV Rheinland certification of its SumoSprings products designed for various European vehicle platforms. This pivotal development signifies an important expansion into the European market, where SumoSprings will now be officially recognized as meeting stringent quality and safety standards across a wide range of commercial and recreational vehicles.

Overview of the Certification

The TÜV Rheinland certification applies to versatile models including, but not limited to, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Fiat Ducato, Ford Transit, Peugeot Boxer, and Citroën Jumper. TÜV Rheinland is renowned in Europe as a leading technical inspection agency. Their seal of approval validates that SumoSprings conforms to required safety and quality standards outlined by both German and European Union regulations.

For vehicle upfitters, dealers, and owners, this certification streamlines the installation and registration processes for vehicles fitted with SumoSprings across the EU. Gerry Lamberti, CEO of SuperSprings International, emphasizes, “This isn’t merely a stamp of approval. It’s a symbol of trust and reliability for our EU partners.” He further reinforced that the TÜV certification supports what their US customers have experienced: that SumoSprings offer a safe, easy-to-maintain solution for enhancing vehicle ride quality and stability.

Rigorous Testing Process

Extensive testing procedures were conducted under varying load conditions to closely observe handling, braking, steering response, and vehicle stability. The results indicated no negative impacts on safety or performance when SumoSprings were implemented. Additional tests conducted in the US under the reliability standards of FMVSS highlighted the product's ability to improve vehicle dynamics. Test outcomes revealed enhancements in braking performance, reduced vibrations through the chassis, and increased resistance to rollover, particularly for vehicles characterized by a high center of gravity, such as motorhomes and vans.

Justin Coulter, Director of Sales, remarked, “This certification is a strategic win for our European partners and OEM customers. We have worked intimately with our distribution network overseas to ensure that our products fulfill all necessary requirements for growth in that market.” As demand for enhanced ride comfort and control continues to rise—especially within the popular van life, RV, and commercial vehicle segments—this TÜV certification opens doors for significant opportunities not only for upfitters but also for installers engaged in converting vehicles for delivery, travel, or work purposes.

Commitment to Quality

Chief Operating Officer Adam Trowbridge stated, “This achievement reflects the quality and consistency we have meticulously integrated into our manufacturing process. Our investment in scalable, ISO 9001-certified systems enables us to venture into international markets with confidence, and this TÜV approval reinforces that our foundation is robust.” Armed with this certification, SuperSprings International aims to enhance partnerships across Europe, meeting the mounting demand for superior ride quality and load support.
