Quality certification and regulations

The aluminum alloys chosen are of vital importance for the quality of the end product. For that reason, all the alloys we use comply with the international EN 1706 standard. On top of that, all casting complies with RoHS and REACH laws and regulations.

Quality management is reflected in all parts of our organization. To keep our minds sharp, we have been ISO-9001 certified since 1993. This certification shows that our organization guarantees that our products and services meet the needs, requirements, wishes, and specifications of our customers and legislation. We are constantly on the lookout for ways to improve our quality so we are better able to meet our customers' needs.

With attention to people and the environment

Investing in our people and their working conditions is very important. We continuously train our staff and improve in the environment in which they work.

Moreover, we feel socially responsible to make a proper contribution to our environment. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our performance and diminish its effect on the environment..

By setting up an environmental management system, we want to give structural attention to environmental aspects in our business operations. We therefore expect to be granted the ISO-14001 certificate in the near future.
