performance is achieved by GESIPA through its vast experience in production, gained over many years, and a quality concept that it says is unique in the sector. Highly qualified employees, the

best production machines, and the in-production quality organisation, guarantee fulfilment of even the most demanding customer requirements. In addition to the checking of dimensions, tolerances, and quality of the raw materials, finished products are also submitted to extensive functional checks before they leave the works. All GESIPA products comply with the RoHS 2011/65/EU directive and all GESIPA’s German production locations operate a quality management system certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 and ISO TS 16949. GESIPA explains that perfect products are secured by

continuous investment in staff qualification and production machinery, as well as permanent controls during manufacturing guaranteeing outstanding setting characteristics and a firm hold. “From the traceability and documentation of the raw materials to the checking of dimensions and tolerances during production, GESIPA attaches the greatest value to quality. The versatility of GESIPA fasteners often means that several application cases, which previously required different fasteners, can be served by a single specially designed blind rivet. This saves costs and simplifies handling.”
