Profol Greiz GmbH receives ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Greiz, Germany (April, 2020) – Profol Greiz GmbH is the first German location of Profol to be successfully certified according to DIN ISO 9001:2015. “This certification represents an important milestone, especially in view of the expansion of our product portfolio to include lightweight composite materials for new customers in the automotive sector,” explained Jörg Dörfel, Plant Manager of Profol Greiz GmbH.

As a manufacturer of food packaging films, the plant in Greiz is already certified with the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety. ISO 9001:2015 underlines the further development of our quality management system. This new certification, which is issued by DEKRA Certification GmbH, applies in Greiz in the production of glass fibre reinforced semi-finished products and the manufacture of flat films for packaging, office supplies and technical applications. The certification was granted by DEKRA March 12, 2020. The Profol team began preparations for this certification at the end of 2018.

The quality management system according to ISO 9001:2015 helps in particular to reduce the effort of the widespread so-called “audit tourism.” For a long time, it was common practice for suppliers to have to prove their quality capability to a large number of customers by means of audits. In many markets, the certificate has now become a barrier to market entry. In the automotive sector, it is indispensable and is part of the uniform standard.

“We see the award of the certificate for our plant in Greiz as a starting point and challenge to establish the quality management system according to ISO 9001:2015 as the new standard in our plants of the Profol Group,” explained Dr. Philipp Schieferdecker, Managing Director of Profol.
