Quality does not just fall from the sky. It must be planned, checked and documented continuously and over the long term. This applies to products as well as processes and workflows. Our aim is to fully meet your expectations of our systems and services at all times
With four production facilities in Europe, our own pipe manufacturing to the highest standards and activities all over the world, we set standards in terms of quality. This is no easy task, as after all, many millions of fittings or metres of pipe leave our production facilities every year.
To make this possible and to meet both your and our high standards, our management system is certified according to ISO 9001:2015 and applies to all manufacturing locations at home and abroad. Over 200 product and series certificates from virtually all national and international certification bodies clearly demonstrate the suitability of our piping systems for many industries and applications.
The high in-house production depth of around 80 percent at our production sites in Germany, Belgium and Poland also allows us to guarantee the quality requirements for all our piping systems and products at all times in a traceable manner.
All our systems and products have two important characteristics, firstly their ease of use, but secondly and more importantly the fact that they are safe to use. This is why we also believe in the principal that if a product contains no lead, it cannot leach lead into a drinking water system. That is why we are committed to using lead-free Silicon Bronze (CuSi) material for all drinking water applications, and general brass fittings.
Lead has historically been added to Brass as it makes the metal easier to work and form shapes. We has conducted extensive research over a seven year period to develop a lead-free solution which enables it to develop a range of brass fittings which are 100% lead-free.
Today, installers and designers can choose from a wide range of lead-free systems, from our press series 8000 “Purapress”, our extensive and kitemarked end feed series 3000 “Purafit” systems, our push fit series 23000 “3fit-push” and finally our multi-layered plastic tube systems, “3fit-press” series 25000 and 35000. With these systems you can certainly reduce the amount of lead that is present in drinking water, and possibly even eliminate it altogether.
As a matter of course, our pipes, fittings and systems are fully tested to many European and international standards, for example, WRAS, KIWA-ATA, CSTB, DVGW and ETA, proving that they are of the highest standards.
