Company statement

The Paul Horn GmbH manufactures high precision carbide grooving tools which meet the expectations of the customers considering Performance, Security, Quality, Reliability and the environmental protection levels of the individual market segments.

All of the stipulated requirements are secured due to the established quality control chain which applies to Development, Construction, Production and  Production Management.

All steps during the manufacturing process are carefully scheduled and respect also all existing and relevant Norm areas as well as official requirements. The manufacturing process also includes cost analysis and cost evaluations.

Skilled and long-term educated employees are responsible for all relevant manufacturing tasks. Materials, machines and all other production elements represent the latest and most modern equipment according to the known levels in science and technology.

It is also important to develop a work philosophy that does not only recognize errors and the reasons for it. More importantly it should detect possible errors in advance and create troubleshooting procedures before an error appears. This philosophy requires highly motivated employees. It is our aim to create and improve the working environment continuously to maintain this highly motivated workforce.

Each employee commits himself with his exceptional performance and high quality work to realize and achieve the company targets. In case one employee discovers processes or production failures that he personally cannot influence, it is an obligation to inform his or her supervisor or area manager without delay. Any possible appearance of irregularities has to be avoided. All employees are part of this quality procedure.

For all environmental and quality related work and processes regarding emergency activities, documents and procedures have been introduced and are on file.

A continuous control of all products and processes, and documented procedures are guaranteed due to internal audits and certification audits by external institutions.  This is in order to continuously improve the company’s environmental protection, work safety and quality control.

We always monitor existing production activities during the normal operation, in addition to when we detect an error in terms of the influence on environmental protection. New processes are laid out with consideration of the influence on the environment. We have decided on the best available technology considering all quality and economical manufacturing aspects.

The minimal requirements for any of our activities are the general rules and regulations. We use our best endeavors also considering the influence of the technical side to avoid any possible danger for health, safety and the environment.

We aim to involve our employees, the public, our customers and suppliers in the definition and implementation of our environmental and quality programmes.
We want to advise our partners and suppliers and in doing so motivate them to follow our guidelines.

We support open and mutually trusting information exchange with the authorities. We inform them in good time regarding potential  environmental problems or risks in order to establish agreed procedures for possible environmental effects caused by an emergency.

The management has agreed the above quality and environmental guidelines. Thus, Paul Horn GmbH declares itself for integrated environmental protection and quality assurance which are linked with the causes for adverse environmental and quality effects.

Environmental protection, quality and safety are central to the corporate culture of Paul Horn GmbH. As a result, these objectives are an integral part of the long term corporate strategy.

Environmental protection, quality and safety are central to the corporate culture of Paul Horn GmbH. As a result, these objectives are an integral part of the long term corporate strategy.

In order to meet its obligations for environmental protection, quality and health and safety at work, Paul Horn GmbH sets its own environmental, quality and health and safety objectives which are adapted to the conditions of each location. The coordination of the management system required for this is performed by the management representative who is obligated to report to the management for this. An annual environmental and quality audit documents the corresponding activities of the company in summary and verifiably.

Therefore, the company supports and encourages every employee to practice environmental protection, quality assurance and occupational safety responsibly and actively at his work place. In particular, the competence of the employees is promoted by training and education to guarantee optimum support of our customers for environmentally sound practices, especially with our products and services.

The managers have particular responsibility. As role models, they actively contribute to further developing the corporate policy and anchoring this in the company culture.

By being open regarding information about the environmental protection, quality and safety measuresadopted by the company, and about the successes and problems for implementation, we aim to motivate our employees and generate credibility among the general public.

In order to convert environmental, quality and safety awareness into concrete behaviour of the employees, the available resources of personnel development, employee training and information are used.
