Quality

QUALITY AND VALUES

One of the main sectors in which VGV operates is the automotive field, which has contributed the most to the definition of quality criteria and, over the years, has set the foundations for quality management in companies.
For VGV, the concept of quality is a fundamental asset during all stages of activity: from products to internal procedures for the management of suppliers and workflow. Products’ quality, processes’ quality and suppliers’ quality.

On these premises, VGV has proudly obtained the main certifications: the guarantee of ideal suitability to provide products and services not only in compliance with laws and regulations, but also, designed to maximize customer satisfaction through continuous improvement.

Certifications:

• IATF 16949: 2016 (Quality Management System)

• ISO 9001: 2015 (Quality Management System)

• ISO 45001:2018 (Management system for health and safety at work)

• ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management System)

In an ever-changing environment, a strict Social Policy System is represented and protected in the values we share within VGV: an ethical company founded upon a code of integrity, social responsibility and authentic corporate and personal qualities.

For VGV, the concept of quality essentially means:

  • Extreme care in selecting and monitoring suppliers
