In our company we rely on state-of-the-art management systems whose goal is continuous improvement, the avoidance of over-engineering and the use of clearly structured processes. These systems serve as a fundamental building block to ensure the highest quality, reliable delivery and competitive prices for our valued customers. For us, continuous improvement is not just a concept, but a lived philosophy. Our management systems enable us to regularly review processes, identify weak points and implement efficient solutions. This dynamic approach not only allows us to remain flexible in a constantly changing market environment, but also ensures that our products and services always meet the highest standards. Avoiding over-engineering is another focus of our management systems. Through clear structuring and targeted process optimization, we strive for efficiency and resource conservation. This allows us to offer innovative solutions without creating unnecessary complexity. Our goal is to always use the optimal level of resources to deliver products and services of the highest quality. The use of clearly structured processes forms the backbone of our operational excellence. By defining, documenting and regularly reviewing our processes, we ensure that every team member has the necessary tools and information to work effectively and efficiently.

in order to achieve its corporate visions - such as the long-term securing and expansion of its market position, the preservation and creation of new jobs, as well as the security and expansion of earnings, thoenes® Präzisionstechnik GmbH has decided on the following corporate policy:
The integrated quality, environmental and occupational safety management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 as well as ISO 45001:2018 is part of all corporate processes. The three management systems [QM, UM, AM] are implemented into corporate policy as an integrated management system [IMS]. It is the declared goal to permanently maintain the following principles, to continuously improve them and to provide the necessary resources.

Our business success is based on the production of high-quality products, flexible adaptation to the requirements of our customers, a constant quality awareness of our employees and constant delivery reliability. We consciously set ourselves a high quality standard and constantly develop our own quality and process capabilities in order to meet the high requirements of our customers. Central to our quality is the claim to a zero-error strategy through continuous improvement of all processes.

We prefer to work with suppliers who are willing to support and support our objectives in a spirit of partnership. We develop new concepts with our suppliers that are in tune with the times in order to strengthen the sustainable life cycle of our products.

Top management defines the cornerstone of company policy with regard to occupational safety. The health of our employees is our most valuable asset that must be protected at all times. We therefore take all necessary measures to create and maintain safe jobs. The company ensures that this policy is appropriate in relation to the nature and extent of occupational health and safety risks in its activities, products and services. Furthermore, continuous improvements are made to the ERP system and their effectiveness is checked and evaluated. Care is taken to ensure that changes are communicated to employees and understood by them. In addition, we fully involve employees in the area of occupational health and safety in the processes, such as internal audits, carrying out risk assessments and providing operating instructions. In addition, the company is committed to quarterly consultations with all assigned employees with the aim of continuously improving and constantly increasing occupational safety.

The top management of thoenes® Dichttechnik GmbH ensures that all legal and other demands to which the company has committed itself are met. Furthermore, the management undertakes that measures to deal with opportunities and risks are planned in a targeted manner and that the necessary activities to integrate and maintain the management system are achieved and implemented.

We work in accordance with current environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations. For this purpose, processes and manufacturing devices are used that correspond to the latest scientific and technical standards. Our value creation and support processes are carefully planned and are subject to compliance with all necessary standards, regulations and national and international legal regulations.

We are committed to sustainably minimizing the impact on people and the environment when planning, manufacturing, storing, transporting and distributing our products. Through competent customer advice, flexible response to customer requirements and smooth order processing, we always want to meet the requirements of our customers. The ultimate goal is to achieve a maximum level of customer satisfaction by, on the one hand, meeting customer requirements in full and, on the other hand, aligning the company with changing customer demands, quality criteria and new processes. By maintaining a close collaborative relationship with our customers, we can contribute our know-how and experience for mutual benefit.

Every employee is responsible for the quality of their work results. We promote and challenge our employees' ideas in a goal-oriented manner and derive measures from them to improve the quality, occupational safety and reduce the environmental impact of our products and processes. We involve our employees in the current business process through regular consultations, thereby achieving a high level of motivation among our employees as a basis for customer-oriented, quality, environmental and safety-conscious work. The management continuously promotes the training and further education of employees in order to implement targeted improvements through high employee qualifications. Every employee is encouraged to use our company suggestion scheme and contribute profitably to the development of our company.

Our main social focuses are participation in the scientific advisory board at TU Dresden, involvement in schools and vocational training, communication with the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and offices and political decision-makers with the aim of maintaining the performance and value creation community for the benefit of society as a whole.

We want to ensure the quality of our products not just by eliminating errors, but by preventing errors at an early stage. Every employee is encouraged to actively participate in this process with their own ideas and suggestions. The integrated management system helps us to continually improve our procedures and processes and to reduce any costs.

With our technologies and developments, we attach great importance to sustainability in the sense of efficient use of energy while at the same time conserving resources. This contribution to environmental protection is our obligation to future generations, because our products embody sustainability, reliability and innovation. Our goal is to produce products that are safe to manufacture, safe to use and safe to dispose of.
Environmental policy is a substantial part of our corporate philosophy. Through future-oriented, quality-promoting and environmentally friendly processes, we meet the increasing demands of our customers and the market. We strive to continually adapt and improve our processes to prevent environmental pollution by ensuring the appropriate use of materials and resources. We see it as our task to preserve raw materials and energy from the point of view of resource conservation. As part of our society, we are obliged to protect the environment.
Our company is committed to considering and continually improving environmental aspects in all of its activities. We strive to act in accordance with the requirements of the environmental management standard ISO 14001. Our environmental policy is based on the following principles: Legal compliance: We are committed to complying with all relevant environmental laws and regulations. In addition, we will ensure that our processes and products comply with applicable norms and standards. Resource efficiency: We strive to minimize the consumption of resources, including energy and raw materials. This includes promoting recycling and reuse practices to reduce waste. Continuous improvement: We aim to continually improve our environmental performance. This includes regular reviews of our processes to identify environmental impacts and take measures to reduce or avoid them. Environmental awareness: We will promote environmental awareness among our employees and ensure that they are informed about the impacts of their activities. Training and information is provided to encourage environmentally friendly behavior. Communication: Our environmental goals and performance are communicated transparently, both internally and externally. This includes working with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders to promote environmentally friendly practices. Emergency Preparedness: We will develop and maintain emergency plans to respond appropriately to potential environmental impacts. This also includes training and regular exercises to ensure responsiveness. This Environmental Policy is the basis for our environmental goals and programs. We recognize that protecting the environment is a shared responsibility and are committed to making our contribution to a more sustainable future.
A high level of availability of our resources is a necessary prerequisite for the production of our products. System-appropriate maintenance, proactive maintenance and regular testing are therefore an integral part of our added value.
