Quality and Environmental Management

Various control mechanisms for environmental management have been employed, such as

• constant laboratory testing of used materials and raw materials in the production process
• inspection and cleaning of filters in all areas
• inspection of production by creating measurement reports

We produce according to following quality standards:

• zinc-coating and cleaning / fettling according to DIN EN ISO 1461, protection of zinc quality

Further actions include:

• preparation of the material before galvanizing, such as drilling and cleaning by de-varnishing or sand blasting, etc.
• realization of special requests, such as excellent finish as prerequisite for wet-varnishing and powder-coating
• ready-to-ship packaging, labeling, and loading
