KEURMERK (GUARANTEE)

ICTWaarborg is the branch organization for companies that supply ICT products and ICT services to consumers and / or companies. This can be done in a physical showroom, online or on location. The aim of ICTWaarborg is to represent the interests of these companies in general and in particular of affiliated companies. More than 1,200 both large and small companies are affiliated with ICTWaarborg to stand stronger together in the market.

For whom is ICTWaarborg intended?

ICTWaarborg is the contact point for the member companies (in some cases also for non-members), for their clients (private and business) and for the suppliers of companies that are active in the sale and supply of ICT products and services. ICTWaarborg wants to be a strong binding factor for its member companies and actively inform them in a wide area.
