SORMAT ACADEMY - TRUSTED FIXINGS SINCE 1970

Sormat has since its early years been a forerunner in training fixing professionals. The Sormat Academy was established in 2006 to enable Sormat partners to serve their customers with the best possible expertise in fixing solutions. Hundreds of Sormat partners and end-users have been trained at Sormat in Finland and all over Europe at the customers’ premises. At the Sormat Academy we give customers in-depth knowledge of fixing
solutions, both from a technical as well as from a commercial perspective.

For us at Sormat, safety comes first. We are dedicated to the training of our partners in order to ensure they are equipped with the right knowledge to use and sell Sormat products. For Sormat partners and customers the
