The Mauser Group Receives ISO 14001 Certification for All European Sites

Mauser (Brühl, Germany) has successfully completed the process of its environmental management audit and received ISO 14001:2004 certification for all European sites. The certificate was issued by TÜV Süd, one of the world?s leading facilitators of the ISO certification. Compliance with ISO 14001 standards is part of the Mauser Eco-Cycle strategy for environmental commitment throughout the entire life-cycle of its products.

The internationally recognized Environmental Management System ISO 14001:2004 confirms compliance with both harmonized European legislation and the respective local regulations. The certificate covers MAUSER facilities in Benelux, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, and UK and includes the complete European portfolio ranging from IBCs and metal containers, to blow moulding machines and plastic, metal, and fibre packaging. It integrates all company operations in Europe to include development, manufacturing, production, sales and service. The ISO 14001 process also monitors continuous improvement of the company record in terms of environment performance, energy savings, and work & fire safety.

The official ISO seal represents an independent verification of the Mauser Eco-Cycle commitment to implementing sustainability and environmental stewardship. In line with the timeframe of the Eco-Cycle project, certification was achieved within only 8 months. ?This was extremely fast,? says Dubravka Duic, VP Global Sales & Marketing Europe. ?In fact, it was the first time in the TÜV history that certification was achieved in less than one year. The Mauser team considered it a top priority issue to have our environmental performance validated by an independent body. We want to continue to set a technological benchmark for the industry.? In a next step, ISO 14001 certification for Mauser operations in Asia and the Americas is scheduled for this year.
