Environment and quality
Manner’s mission is to provide its customers with castor solutions that are competitive in terms of their quality and price, and we always take environmental and safety issues into account in all our operations.
We develop and manufacture workable, safe and value-adding castor products and attachment solutions to meet our customers’ needs. We also offer our partners’ products that supplement our selection. Our decisions aim to achieve maintenance-free solutions that will serve users for many years to come.
Manner’s operating system complies with the requirements of the ISO-9001 quality standard as well as the ISO 14001 environmental standard. Certifications for both standards have been granted to the company. We continuously maintain and develop our systems’ management programmes, and an outside expert audits our operations at regular intervals.
We take the environmental impacts of our operations into consideration during every working stage. Product properties, raw materials and production methods are selected according to environmental and occupational safety requirements. Besides being responsible for the quality of his or her own work, every Manner employee is obligated to prevent the passage of a faulty product to the next production stage.
We continuously monitor the volumes of various emissions and waste so as to reduce them. Our surface treatment process is one of the most important aspects of our environmental permit. We use the best feasible technology for water purification, and any solid residue left in filters is transported to hazardous waste facilities.
Besides training our staff to develop their awareness of quality, safety and environmental issues, we also update their professional expertise in areas that are essential to the continuous improvement of the company’s operations.
Manner is committed to its open and sincere relationships with its customers, public authorities and neighbours, and always strives to keep its stakeholders as well informed as possible regarding the company’s performance and possible operational changes.
Quality and product development
Manner has over 80 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of castor products. The company’s in-house R&D capabilities and production operations have created the most favourable prerequisites for special expertise, reliability as well as expert technical support and customer services.
Design – one of our main strengths
