The history of Lubrimetal over the last thirty years has been closely aligned with the development of system certifications.
In fact, since the 1990’s Lubrimetal has been at the vanguard in building and adopting pertinent management systems. So much so, that in 1993 it was amongst the first to be awarded ISO 9001 quality standard certification bearing number 82. Through VISION 2000 the quality system has been brought into the current millennium with the standard being updated in 2008 and, most recently, in 2015.
In 1996 environmental certification commenced initially according to the standard ISO 14001. From that date until now, Lubrimetal has continuously passed annual audits and renewal controls, adapting its systems to the revisions of 2006 and 2015.
Finally, in 2000, Lubrimetal also obtained certification in accordance with OHSAS 18001 in relation to safety in the workplace, recognizing the company’s ability to manage health and safety in a systematic manner. In 2020 the company completed the migration process from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001, obtaining certification.
These three certificates have always been evidence of Lubrimetal’s commitment to demonstrate its excellence. This has been officially recognized: in 2000, Lubrimetal was awarded first Certificate of Excellence, granted for having integrated management system in place meeting all relevant standards.
For Lubrimetal, an integrated management system is not just about certificates, it is the core of its business ethics.
