Premium Hungarian building materials: the trademarks of the domestic industry are also featured in the latest episode of Spakli ’21.

One of the objectives of ÉVOSZ is to encourage buyers to demand domestic building materials, thereby reducing the sector's exposure to imports and strengthening the market position of domestic building material manufacturers, according to a press release sent to our newspaper by the organisation representing the domestic construction industry. They reminded us that to this end, two trademarks have been introduced: the Prémium Magyar Építőanyag and Prémium Regionális Építőanyag trademarks represent a high-quality and professional guarantee for building materials offered by domestically manufactured and Hungarian-owned companies. The trademark represents additional quality requirements voluntarily undertaken by manufacturers. We have reported on this topic several times, most recently in connection with the ÉVOSZ meeting in Szeged in September.

Now, in the ÉVOSZ Media Section Spakli ’21 podcast, presenter János Bene Koji László talks to ÉVOSZ president and Tibor Dávid, president of the ÉVOSZ Domestic Building Materials Manufacturers Division, and Masterplast Nyrt. president and CEO.

The following issues were raised during the discussion:

· What motivated ÉVOSZ to launch this trademark programme?

· What do the two trademarks mean, and how do they differ from each other?

· What are the most important conditions that the product and the company must meet in order to obtain the trademark?

· How does the trademark registration process work and how long does it take?

· How long does the right to use the trademark last?

· What does the trademark mean for consumers? Where can they find information about it?

· What guarantee does the consumer have that the quality will not deteriorate during the warranty period?
