Quality has tradition

In 1994, TYROLIT became the first abrasives manufacturer in Europe to have its's quality management system was ISO-certified.

Integrated management system

The name TYROLIT is synonymous with quality. The company can look back on a long tradition in quality management and in 1994 it became the first European abrasive manufacturer with an ISO-certified quality management system. Integrated management at TYROLIT means that quality, environmental and safety management systems are in place and jointly operated at all TYROLIT production locations. The aim is to establish a common standard to ensure that the goal of high product and service quality set by our corporate mission statement is achieved.

The IMS enables synergies from different divisions to be exploited, problems to be identified and solved quickly, and the performance of the various sites to be compared using KPIs. In addition to regular checks by an external certification company (TÜV CERT), the management system is also continuously monitored as part of internal audits.

 

 

Quality as an integral part of our corporate culture

TYROLIT became a pioneering force in the abrasives industry by recognising the importance of a quality management system at a very early stage. Today, the majority of TYROLIT companies have been integrated into this system.

Competent TYROLIT employees, as well as suppliers and customers, are essential for optimising the entire value-added chain. Quality and service orientation are the cornerstones of our philosophy and provide the basis of for our success.

Working and operating safety

As an employer it is our duty to guarantee the highest possible standard in health and safety at work. We aim to keep the risk of accidents to an absolute minimum.

Constant workplace evaluation, safety and product training, and continuous improvement of the working environment all help to maximise safety at work. Starting with our apprentices, we raise awareness of the importance of safety in the workplace through targeted training courses.

Product safety

TYROLIT ensures that all tools meet the requirements of the oSa and European standards. The CE marking on our machines guarantees that they are fully compliant with the applicable EU standards. We are constantly striving to make our products even safer:

  • through our work as a founding member of the Organisation for the Safety of Abrasives (oSa)
  • through cooperation with safety authorities and standardisation institutes and
  • through practical communication with users all over the world

Note: TYROLIT strongly discourages the use of grinding tools that do not carry the oSa, EN13236 (diamond tools), EN12413 (cut-off and grinding wheels) or EN13743 (flap discs) symbols.
