International Shopfitting Organisation

ISO - Who are we?

The "International Shopfitting Organisation ISO" has been founded in the year 1958 by farseeing shopfitting firms to establish international contacts. Today ISO is a community of national shopfitting associations and individual members from 14 European and non-European countries. Each national association appoints two delegates to the ISO Management Committee. The ISO Management Committee is responsible for the executive management and the activities of ISO. At the meetings an exchange of ideas concerning the national situations, the trends and conditions of the international shopfitting industry takes place.

ISO - What do we want?

The objects of ISO are to spread information about the shopfitting industry as well of one's own as to consumer groups. The mutual exchange of experiences and the relationary development between the national associations serves this purpose. The yearly congress, with clear professional substance and social activities is a name activity of ISO. The personal contacts made at the congresses have been found to be very valuable. The ISO Incentive Tour is an international study tour for young professional colleagues. This five-day study tour presents a good insight into the shopfitting industry of the respective host country and the cultural point of view. The congress and the study tours will be carried out in rotation by the member countries.

ISO means shortly:

Promotion of contacts between the associations and the firms of the member countries
Basis of discussion for the questions and themes of common interest of the members
Exchange of information and experience
Organisation of annual congress
Organisation of study tours (ISO Incentive Tour)
Consideration of standards and technical questions
Members of ISO are the national association of shopfitters in each country, but also individual shopfitting companies from countries where there is no national association, or where the national organisation is not a member of ISO. From such countries ISO also accept suppliers, advisors and other companies or persons with an interest in the retail environment industry, as associated members.
