Quality Policy

The Management Board of Franke Industrie AG considers quality and customer orientation as an important strategic corporate goal. Our team leaders have committed themselves to making the established quality principles known in their departments, to incorporating them into their daily work and to contributing to their fulfilment. The following  is an excerpt of our quality principles:

• We want to be the leading expert in the production of hot gas parts for the energy and aerospace market. The fulfilment of the quality requirements and the individual wishes of our customers are therefore our standard of performance.
• We are at the forefront of technology with our products and continuously develop our processes.
• We set the same quality standards for our suppliers as we do for ourselves.
• Constant improvements and a detailed analysis of the root causes are important to us. It is our goal to continuously improve the Integrated Management System (MS) in order to develop ourselves and meet the expectations of the various interested parties.

For the implementation of this quality policy, an integrated Management System has been established in our company, which is used in all processes and departments. This is intended to help our management staff and employees to meet customer requirements at all times and to ensure compliance with laws and official regulations in the long term.

By means of regular check-ups, performance monitoring, reviews and audits, the quality, environmental and safety Management System is periodically evaluated for its effectiveness and consciously developed and improved.
