Standardisation

The Association was created to organize regulatory, training, supervision and market moralization initiatives that allow companies in the sector to organize their work with tools other than the current ones.

Legnolegno is a National Consortium of services founded in 1987 which aims to qualify the entrepreneurial activities and products of the window and door sector.
