Customer Satisfaction

Our innovative services and products create high lifecycle value for our customers. By focusing on selected industrial segments, we know our customers’ needs and expectations better than our competitors do.

In technology, product and service development we strive to minimize the total environmental impact throughout the entire lifecycle of our products. This – in turn – helps our customer to develop more eco-efficient products and processes on their own.

We are committed to design our products in line with industry standards with respect to QESH requirements.

We advise our customers with respect to the safe handling and transportation of our products as well as usage and destruction in a safe manner which will not cause unsustainable impact to the environment.

We monitor our customers’ satisfaction in accordance with a planned procedure, and we utilize the feedback to improve customer satisfaction.

Performance of Operations

We regularly assess QESH aspects and their impact on our business.

We also regularly assess our operations in compliance with the relevant local QESH legislation and requirements as well as the general industrial standards.

We continuously improve the performance of our business processes by setting improvement targets and by executing actions to achieve these targets.

Success through Skilled and Motivated Employees

Every employee (with two Chemtech specific amendments)

• is trained with respect to the QESH aspects of his work and applies them in his own work;
• is responsible for the quality, environmental, health and safety aspects of his work; and is particular responsible for the fulfillment of the required specifications. (Partly Chemtech specific)
• knows his role in our business processes.
• reports immediately deviations to the defined objective to the management. (Chemtech Specific)

Management Responsibilities and Systems

The management provides evidence of its commitment to the QESH policy and the respective management systems by:
