Each branch has a well-equipped showroom and warehouse offering the best customer service and delivery facilities, according to Battoyor.

Products manufactured by Heba meet the requirements of NFPA and BS standard codes as audited and certified by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance for quality management system standards BS EN ISO 9001 and accepted by Saudi Arabian Standard Organisation (Saso) and local Civil Defence authorities in the Kingdom, according to Battoyor.
