FERRAL expands product portfolio with support from INEGI

Innovation is an essential bet in the growth strategy of any company that seeks to obtain competitive market advantages and better meet customer needs. Strengthening the product portfolio, rethinking existing products, or improving the choice of raw materials and components are important initiatives to create added value.

This is exactly what FERRAL is doing, with the development of new highly flexible stairs that will simplify the tasks of the most professional. The leading company in the manufacture and distribution of aluminium ladders and stepladders has the support of INEGI to strengthen its position in the market.

As an innovation partner, the Institute's role is to streamline the creation of solutions and support all stages of development, from new product design, virtual and experimental validation, prototyping and validation tests, and compliance with certification procedures.

During the project, the team is taking into account the new product performance, namely articulation, resistance, as well as manufacturing processes and technologies needed and production costs. 

Carlos Pinto, responsible for the project at INEGI, says that "making use of a wide range of skills enable us to help our partners to be successful in creating and developing new, innovative and disruptive products”.
