A GLOBAL PRODUCT 56
The quest for a roofing system that would solve the problems
inherent to traditional metal roofing led in 1987 to the creation
of the Riverclack® system, a revolution in roofing technology.
Thanks to its unique features, Riverclack® quickly established
itself on the market as THE “flat metal roofing system”.
ENTHUSIASM
For roofing, for our work. We can’t help ourselves: pass a
building with a Riverclack® roof and we simply have to stop
and say, with more than a little pride, "we made that."
CREATIVE INNOVATION
Innovation and creativity produced Riverclack® in the first
place and continue to drive our ambition to meet evolving
market demands with new materials, new solutions and new
accessories.
CUSTOMER-FOCUSED FLEXIBILITY
Just as every roof is unique in its geometry, lines and
details, so every customer is unique. Our entire production
process, from design to after-sales, is flexible and
responsive enough to meet the changing technical and
architectural needs of our customers during projects.
SUSTAINABILITY
"We haven’t inherited the Earth from our ancestors, but
borrowed it from our children." Attributed to American
Indians, this sentence perfectly captures ISCOM’s
philosophy as a socially committed family business. From
the raw materials we use, to our recycling practices, to the
clean energy our products help generate: real commitment
to a sustainable future requires not words, but actions.
