Quality & Certifications

Quality & Certifications in Plastics Manufacturing


Quality in plastics manufacturing starts well before final inspection. It begins with consulting, material selection, design, tool making and process planning.

Silac works with clearly defined procedures and controlled processes to support reliable production, transparent decision-making and consistent results.

This is particularly important for products used in food, healthcare, technical applications, as well as for production runs with demanding requirements for dimensional accuracy, functionality, hygiene and documentation.

Verified Processes Instead of Final Inspection Alone

Silac is certified to ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management. Processes are regularly reviewed and further developed.

In day-to-day production, requirements are clarified at an early stage, work steps are documented and inspections are carried out throughout the process. Quality is therefore not limited to a final inspection, but forms part of everyday operations.

Training and further education are also part of this approach. Employees need to understand the relevant processes, carry out inspections correctly and identify deviations. This helps retain knowledge within the company and pass it on systematically.
