Annual Report 2008 - Siempelkamp

The offer to our employees to take part in professional training
programs is an important tradition for Siempelkamp Foundry
and one that is in high demand. The qualification of our
employees contributes to the company’s success especially in
an environment that is continuously changing.
A health management project including diverse healthbenefiting
measures completes the part of the Siempelkamp
Foundry business culture that is oriented on the employee. A
decreased number of sick days is proof for the success of this
measure.
Quality, Environmental Protection, Safety
It is our company’s top priority to supply high quality products
to our customers.
Such quality requires all the necessary national and international
relevant certifications and accreditations as well as the
safe compliance with all legal requirements in different areas
of the company.
The activities of a result-oriented quality management once
again contributed in reaching the quality-related goals and
requirements in 2008.
To support the work of the quality management, an addi
tional quality control engineer was hired. This stresses the
importance of quality control for our company.
Further central topics of our company policy are the areas
of environmental protection and job safety.
Once again, the compliance with requirements is the foundation
and pre-requisite for our successful and reliable work.
At the end of 2008 we started up a new plant safety and
time recording system. This step toward securing all company
processes is an important part of our entire concept of
innovation and progress and is trend-setting for our company.
