Born at the beginning of the 1950s as an artisanal business, the company has always produced high precision small wares. Over the years, it has grown significantly into an industrial business and has progressively specialized in the production of brass components for faucets. The current facilities have about 8000 square meters of surface indoors, split into two production units.
After an important rationalization process of the organizational and production structure that took place around the end of the 1990s, starting from the year 2000, the company invested in a company Quality Management System certified in accordance with the UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 standard.
ENVIRONMENT
We have always been showing respect for environment. At present we have got a 270 Kw photovoltaic system which meets nearly 20% of factory annual energy needs.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Gallazzini S.p.A. draws on all its human, infrastructural and economic resources in its commitment to improving the health and safety of its employees – both as an integral part of company activities and as a part of broader company strategy. The company also promises to continue achieving consistently higher levels of customer satisfaction, while maintaining its respect for the environment and its careful use of natural resources.
Gallazzini’s success is based on the wide-ranging ability of its employees and its fast, efficient and professional response to the demands of customers, suppliers and public bodies. With this in mind, the general management is committed to implementing a policy of continuous improvement of company performance, while minimising the negative impact of its activities on the environment and acting within the parameters of an Integrated System conforming to UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 standards – where this is technically possible and economically sustainable.
To this end, Gallazzini proposes the following:

to provide suitable human and technical resources (machinery, equipment, technology and general infrastructure), in order to improve the effectiveness of the Integrated System);
to carry out quality controls on suppliers’ products and services;
to create and maintain a workplace that conforms to current legal requirements and regulations – in particular those regarding environmental concerns, as well as workplace hygiene and safety – through commitment to employee involvement and by consulting with employees via their safety representative;

to reduce the amount of waste released into the environment by facilitating recycling and/or reuse;
to employ the best technical solutions available for managing the environmental impact of company activities, so that the air, water courses, ground and subsoil are suitably protected from pollution;
to promote through training general awareness and involvement among all employees – either at Gallazzini or whose work contributes directly to the company – in matters related to the environment, workplace Health and Safety and maintaining quality standards, so that every employee contributes to preserving the environment for future generations and minimising risk of accident in the workplace;
to strive for continuous improvement by reducing the risk of harm to the environment and by implementing a policy of risk reduction in order to prevent workplace accidents and maintain Health and Safety standards for employees;
to increase competitiveness, with the aim of achieving a steady increase in market share;
to communicate and promote company policy – both internally and to all interested parties – via suitable guidelines, awareness campaigns and motivational talks, with a view to effectively sharing objectives and company programmes.
The Management has the responsibility and authority to periodically review the company’s Integrated Policy and to check that the Integrated Quality, Environment and Safety System is being activated correctly.
