In January 2019, the Houweling Groep achieved three ISO quality marks. A successful audit has shown that the company met the quality standards.
The following three ISO certifications were acquired:

Continuous improvement of quality is central to the application of ISO 9001. Employees get to know the processes well. As a result, they become increasingly aware of the consequences of their actions. This increases the quality and reliability of the organization and the products.
- ISO 14001: Environmental management systems: With this certification the company shows it uses an environmental management system and thus guarantees environmental safety. The management system focuses on managing and improving environmental performance.
- ISO 45001: Healthy & Safe working: This standard shows Houweling Groep meets the legal obligation to take care of the safety and health of it's employees. The company conducts a policy that points at realizing optimal working conditions.
"Obtaining these certificates is the confirmation for the Houweling Group that we have actually organized the processes surrounding our service. We are ready for further growth", says Hans Fransen, Quality Manager at the Houweling Group
Audits were held on location, policies and measures were assessed and employees were extensively interviewed. Hans: ''We are proud of this achievement and we will do everything we can to keep the certifications. Internal and external audits take place every year. This way we can constantly improve ourselves and continue to deliver quality.''
