ThermHex receives quality, environmental management certification

ThermHex Waben GmbH (Halle, Germany) has been certified for its quality and environmental management system. The ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications are considered significant national and international standards for management systems. In the combined audit, ThermHex reports that the awareness of environmental relevance and the advantages of its own products over monolithic materials were emphasized.

In addition to evaluating various environmental aspects, the environmental management system also includes monitoring of environmental targets and compliance with environmentally relevant safety standards. Here, it was particularly emphasized that ThermHex makes an additional contribution to CO₂ reduction by using green electricity for the already resource-efficient production of its honeycomb cores. In general, all self-imposed quality and environmental targets were exceeded in the past fiscal year, ThermHex notes.

With the certificates for quality and environmental management systems, ThermHex says it underlines its own demands on product and service quality and environmental protection. As a management tool, the certification processes are additionally intended to ensure continued steady improvement in environmental performance and quality, and thus overall company development.

Jochen Pflug, managing director of ThermHex, emphasizes that despite various bottlenecks and the effects of the pandemic, thanks to the company’s employees, both standards were nevertheless successfully met.
