The company is aware that the quality of its products and services has a decisive influence on its image and therefore its position on the market. Therefore considers it absolutely necessary to establish and follow a coherent quality strategy:
and therefore based on the following fundamental principles:
The above points only represent the non-limiting basis [R4] for building the company quality system. The company is certain that it can count on the personal participation of all its collaborators to create the most up-to-date company competitiveness tool.
Since the early 90s, LAMPLAST has reinforced and renewed its laboratory structure, in order to support both quality assurance and research and devolopment of new compounds.
On one side, these efforts - combined with a strict selection of its suppliers among the most important chemicals producers - allowed LAMPLAST to gain UNI EN ISO 9002 certification in 1997, among the first companies in its sector. The certification has been later update to the current status: ISO 9001:2015
On the other hand, they made possible a significant widening of the products portofolio, with a special focus on self extinguishing and halogen free compounds. The fire resistance of some of these new products has been certified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for the US and the Canadian markets and other certifications are in progress now.
