Quality and environmental protection

Werotex pursues a policy of rigorous quality and environmental management. The quality of the products and service are as crucial as our environmentally friendly business practices. In addition, our company meets the requirements of ISO 9001 and has the corresponding certification.
Optimised production processes with improved high technical standards, lead not only to quality improvement but also to better health and safety in the workplace for our employees. In development projects and day to day production minimising environmental impact is never lost from view.
As from the beginning of 2012, we have only consumed 100% hydroelectric power, produced exclusively by Swiss plants, thus making a further valuable contribution to climate and environmental protection.

Our company cars rely on innovative hybrid technology to reduce pollutant emissions.
