All Sortimo in-vehicle equipment is developed and produced in Germany, more precisely in Zusmarshausen, Bavaria. This is Sortimo's headquarters and only production site. 
Despite the global market orientation, we maintain highly qualified specialists and can also guarantee lean production processes and the highest quality due to the bundling of all competences. "Made in Germany" also stands for the innovations and system solutions developed here, which always correspond to the latest state of development.
During production, we pay attention to qualitative material, competence of our employees and, of course, the requirements of our customers in order to be able to offer the best possible van racking. As our customers' requirements change over time, we continuously consult and adapt our van rackings to customer needs and market requirements through a close connection between product lifecycle management, development and quality management.

There are various kinds of dangers with self-built van rackings. Starting with the fastening of the racking: Here Sortimo works with crash tests, simulations and many years of development experience to realise the correct connection of the racking to the vehicle via the connection points. Here it is important to have a precise distribution of forces so that in the event of braking or an accident the racking itself does not become a deadly projectile. 

In addition, load securing systems, integrated fixing rails and much more help to take precautions that in some cases save lives. Integrated securing elements simplify the handling and partly secure materials and tools from falling out. In the slightest case of damage, only materials or even the vehicle are damaged if tools fall out of the rack during braking or in curves. However, if the forces are stronger, they can also be flung through the driver's cab, causing injuries to the occupants. This is possible even with light objects and low speed.

Incorrect distribution of weights can also mean that the stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed in bends and other road users are put at risk. Many accidents have shown that professional in-vehicle equipment not only makes everyday work easier and more efficient, but can also save lives.

In order to make a wooden vehicle body strong enough to remain in one unit in the event of an impact, the material becomes extremely heavy. This means that the loading possibilities are reduced and the fuel consumption increases or reduces the range of electric vehicles enormously. Sortimo's in-vehicle equipment is made of metal, so it is light and strong at the same time. Crash tests show that in the event of a collision the Sortimo van racking remains in one unit and does not break apart. This protects the occupants and the contents of the van racking.
