All KBM Affilips group companies have adopted integrated systems for quality management, environmental management and health & safety control. Relevant certificates are at your disposal (just click on the company name at the right hand side to download PDF documents).
Quality management
The Company's success is the result of our commitment to an uncompromising quality management system. From product specification through all stages of manufacturing to final delivery, we are focussed on quality to meet all customers requirements. In 1989 KBM Master Alloys became the first master alloy producer to be awarded the internationally recognized quality standard ISO 9001. In the meantime all of our facilities have earned this accreditation.
Environmental management
It is our firm belief that melting metals in today's world is only justified under strict adherence to environmental regulations. However, in our opinion mere obedience to the rules is not sufficient; the conservation of our living environment requires a genuine commitment. This commitment was translated into an ecological business policy introducing integrated environmental management based on the internationally recognized ISO 14001 standard.
Company wide accreditation was reached in the year 2000. As such we became the world's first manufacturer of aluminium, copper, nickel and lead based master alloys to be awarded the ISO 14001 certificate. Our ecological business policy is designed to safeguard a healthy future for all our stakeholders, providing among others a safe and clean workplace for our workers. All investments in new equipment are fully assessed according to both economic and environmental demands.
Health & safety control
The paramount importance of occupational health and safety is firmly rooted into the company policy of all KBM Affilips group members. This policy is first and foremost aimed at eliminating or minimising health and safety risks to employees and other stakeholders of the company in an effective and efficient manner. Given the nature of Affilips’ activities, the company decided to implement the OHSAS 18001 system, for which accreditation was acquired in the year 2002.
As a next logical step KBM Affilips group companies are now committed to attain European REACH compliance.
