The Virtuous Circle of Quality
The high demands of our clients in terms of quality, along with regulatory pressure (especially the full traceability from raw material batch to finished product, including PMI testing), have been a tremendous opportunity to deeply modify our practices and distinguish ourselves from our competitors. This approach has also led us to improve cleanliness and safety for the staff, as well as greater respect for the environment.
The Word from Our Quality, Safety, and Environmental Manager
“The system of quality and environmental management at Guichon Valves is certified according to ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015. More than just a certification, however, it is a real management tool used daily, whether it be determining objectives per department, tracking the results of steering meetings, or implementing and monitoring continuous improvement.
GUICHON VALVES assures full traceability of its products through its ERP system and work procedures. At any given moment, all the details of a valve sub-assembly can be identified, and we can determine the material used, on which machine it was produced, and by which operator.”
