Quality management
The right measures at the right time.
We continuously optimize our processes.
In order to constantly maintain and improve the quality of our processes and services at the highest level, we operate an extensive and consistent quality, CIP/lean management system. In doing so, we always keep a close eye on all methods and procedures for the efficient design of the entire value chain.

What do these certificates entail and what advantages do they offer?

IFS:
The basic principles of the IFS are based on DIN EN ISO 9001, concretized for the supply chain in the food sector. HACCP (risk analysis and assessment of processes) is also required.
s.a.f.e. plus:
s.a.f.e. stands for Schutz- und Aktionsgemeinschaft zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit in der Spedition and is an association-supported community of freight forwarders and logistics service providers for the protection of aligned interests as well as a service network for the optimization of logistics security.
SQAS:
In addition to ISO 9001 certification, the chemical industry consciously looks for an SQAS audit when selecting its partners in the transport, logistics and trade sectors. This is because this audit system evaluates the aspects of safety, health, environment and quality (ISO 9001) with regard to performance and implementation in a company.
Those who meet the strict requirements and adhere to the international benchmarks of the SQAS and ISO 9001 standards make quality reproducible.
DIN EN ISO 14001:
The environmental management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001 provides the framework for the voluntary development of measures to protect the environment – from saving energy and protecting the climate to disposing of waste.
DIN EN ISO 9001:
With the quality management system, we demonstrate the quality of our processes and create the basis for systematic, continuous improvement.
VDA 6.2:
VDA 6.2 is a quality management system for all service providers in the automotive industry. Providers of automotive services can use the VDA 6.2 standard to ensure and document the quality of their processes.
