Quality, in all its aspects, influences the competitive position, the profitability and the reputation of every company in its market of expertise. This is why Almag’s strategy focuses on the quality of products to respond to the needs of the market.
Almag Spa's production process controls are self-generated and carefully detailed plans that are revised periodically. Product and process control data are inspected by qualified personnel and properly stored to ensure traceability of the materials during the process. The measurement instruments needed for the checks are monitored periodically to ensure accuracy and precision. Chemical analyses carried out on incoming raw materials into the plant and on the products at different levels of the production process are made using sophisticated integrated analytical systems. The induced current equipment on our wire drawing lines ensures repeatable and optimal surface quality. Almag Spa's chemical laboratory certifies the mechanical characteristics of our products and provides technical support for the solution of any chemical-metallurgical issue.
Certification of the quality control system of organisations in all sectors. Almag has been ISO 9001 certified since August 1996.
