Metal and Machinery
Mid-sized manufacturers navigating ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 — pragmatic and integrated.
What makes this industry distinctive
The classic mid-market between 30 and 300 employees, often owner-led, with high in-house production depth. The risk here is not a failing standard — it is a system that produces administrative overhead without strengthening operations. We build integrated management systems that reverse that.
Situations clients come to us with
ISO 9001 stuck in the filing cabinet
The system exists formally, but is bypassed in daily operations — and the external auditor smells it.
Combined ISO 9001/14001/45001 wanted
Three standards in one system — you do not want to maintain the same documents three times.
Supplier audits by major customers
A major customer announces an audit — and you do not really know where you are audit-ready and where you are not.
CE conformity for machinery
Machinery Directive and risk assessment — tightly bound to your QMS.
Which standards matter in this industry
Integrated management system ISO 9001 + 14001 + 45001
Machinery manufacturer, 95 employees, North Rhine-Westphalia. Starting point: existing ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and 45001 demanded by a major customer. Approach: build of an integrated system with shared document structure and audit plan. Result: three certifications in a single audit slot after 9 months; one joint management review instead of three separate ones.
