SuperSprings International Achieves TÜV Certification for European Market Expansion

SuperSprings International Achieves TÜV Certification for SumoSprings

SuperSprings International, based in Carpinteria, California, has announced a significant achievement in securing TÜV Rheinland certification for its SumoSprings suspension products. This certification is pivotal as SuperSprings continues to expand its reach into the European automotive market.

About the Certification

The TÜV Rheinland certification applies to a diverse range of both commercial and recreational vehicles utilizing popular platforms. This includes vehicles built on notable models such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Fiat Ducato, Ford Transit, Peugeot Boxer, and Citroën Jumper. TÜV Rheinland is recognized as one of Europe’s leading technical inspection agencies, and their certification guarantees that SuperSprings’ products meet stringent safety and quality standards in compliance with German and EU regulations.

Importance of TÜV Certification

Obtaining this certification is not merely an achievement; it represents a commitment to excellence in manufacturing and product safety. Gerry Lamberti, CEO of SuperSprings International, emphasized, "This isn't just a stamp of approval. It's a symbol of trust and reliability for our European partners." The certification serves to provide dealers, upfitters, and vehicle owners with the confidence needed to install and register vehicles equipped with SumoSprings across the European Union.

Extensive testing was implemented to evaluate how SumoSprings perform under various load conditions. This rigorous testing focused on critical factors such as handling, steering response, braking capabilities, and overall vehicle stability. The outcome showed that using SumoSprings had no detrimental impact on safety or performance metrics. Furthermore, separate testing conducted in the United States under FMVSS standards revealed that SumoSprings actually enhance vehicle dynamics, leading to improved braking performance, reduced chassis vibrations, and increased resistance to rollover incidents, particularly in high-center-of-gravity vehicles like vans and motorhomes.

Justin Coulter, the Director of Sales at SuperSprings, pointed out the strategic importance of this certification. He noted, "This certification is a strategic win for our European partners and OEM customers. We've been working closely with our distribution network overseas to ensure our products meet every requirement needed to grow in that market." The certification opens new avenues for upfitters and eases the process for installers working on vehicles designed for diverse purposes, including travel and commercial delivery.

Commitment to Quality

Chief Operating Officer Adam Trowbridge highlighted that this milestone reflects the quality and reliability that SuperSprings has integrated into its manufacturing processes. He stated, "We’ve invested in scalable, ISO 9001-certified systems so we can grow internationally with confidence, and this TÜV approval is proof that the foundation is solid." The commitment to maintaining high standards throughout its manufacturing processes underscores SuperSprings’ mission to deliver long-lasting, maintenance-free upgrades for a variety of vehicles.

Looking Ahead: European Expansion

With the TÜV certification secured, SuperSprings International is poised to strengthen its partnerships throughout Europe. They aim to meet the rising demand for products that enhance ride comfort and load support specifically in the van life, RV, and commercial vehicle sectors. Whether it’s for a Sprinter campervan, a motorhome based on the Ducato, or a fleet vehicle like the Transit, SumoSprings are now fully certified for widespread usage across the EU.
