In an industry where time is money and quality is key to a sustainable facility, the collaboration between SSG Standard Solutions Group and Isover Saint-Gobain Sweden AB has proven valuable in many ways.
Isover has been part of the SSG Product Database since the beginning of 2011, Håkan Gustafsson, development engineer at Isover, talks about how he has experienced the collaboration with SSG.
– It has been fantastic! We have a great relationship and dialog, whether it's about SSG Standards or SSG Product Database. There are more positive changes in Swedish industry and the training that exists today where energy-efficient installations, their climate impact, and how, for example, the use of efficient products and services, such as we offer, can contribute to a more sustainable and efficient industry already during construction and installation. The fact that we can be there for our customers directly in the SSG Product Database is an advantage.

Per Ferm, Product Manager at Isover, explains how the SSG Product Database helps the Swedish industry and Isovers business.
– The challenge we are hearing from our customers is that the constructor may know what product they need and what standard to use, but it is not always easy for the purchaser to find the right products and verify that they match what is specified. Therefore, when buyers search the SSG Product Database to find products, it saves an incredible amount of time and money for a site because these are validated and we know they match the SSG part number.
Mats Kristensson, Key Account Manager Industry at Isover, emphasizes the importance of traceability.
– What has been value-creating for us is that the sites get traceability and that we can ensure that customers get the right product. If you are a Construction Designer, and calculate energy losses, for example, the SSG article number must match the product you want to install. Using the SSG Product Database is a way to ensure that the right product is in the right place.
Isover is at the forefront of efficient insulation solutions and is the only supplier in Sweden that can offer a complete range of insulation products.
With innovative designs, Isover meets the needs of the future today and is constantly developing new solutions. Isover has more than 80 years of experience and an exciting history. Billesholms Glasulls AB was founded in 1933, as a replacement industry when mining operations were shut down. Glass wool, which was then a new and untested insulation material, became the salvation of the village. The name Gullfiber was used until 1999 and developed into one of Sweden's strongest brands. Isover's production and head office are still located in Billesholm.
For a site to keep track of its articles, you need a system where the information can create value, through the SSG Product Database we enable the industry to build a structure that saves customers both time and money. With the ability to search for items outside their warehouse, sites can efficiently purchase products according to their requirements.
