We believe our prestige and success is based on the quality we strive to offer on every level. The quality of our approved suppliers, the solid associated companies we work with, and the philosophy of service we offer to our associates.
In this sense, our authorized suppliers know that HDF group brings commitment and stable business, meeting their expectations year after year, and providing confidence to the manufacturer.
For us, homologation is commitment, and commitment, results.
On the other hand, this commitment translates into clear benefits and profitability for our associates.
We work with economies of scale and volume is essential, but above all we are interested in the quality of our associates, this is how we have achieved a very large market share in the air conditioning and ventilation segments.
When incorporating a new associate, we study thoroughly that the philosophy and values of both the company and the people who compose and direct it, effectively converge with our vision of cohesion, generosity and mutual collaboration between associates.
When our potential is gathered, and we all contribute with fresh ideas, we generate new projects with a multiplier effect for the benefit of our associates.
Joining HDF has many advantages that go beyond the profitability and competitiveness provided by our agreements with suppliers. We constantly work to promote internal participation, and we encourage the generation of new ideas and united forces that provide each associated entrepreneur with actual improvements in their business, but without losing their own identity.
