We are also investing in increased capacity to meet growing demand and ensure we continue to offer 100% security of supply.
This focus on quality is embedded in our systems and processes at every stage, from raw material procurement to the delivery of the finished product to the customer. This goes for every product, and every production site.
All of this is underpinned by our commitment to cultivating enduring, transparent relationships with our suppliers and customers. It is this positive business environment that enables us to deliver the very highest quality products time after time.
Strict quality control
All Weishardt’s semi-finished and finished products are subject to strict quality control. Weishardt’s quality specifications integrate physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters, which meet the applicable standards within the countries of manufacturing and delivery. Weishardt also implements controls on several additional specific parameters in order to ensure the delivered products meet all customers’ requirements every time.
Irreprochable traceability
