Quality statement
Our quality assurance system was created with the sole purpose of realizing the above mission. Our independent quality assurance department promotes and monitors this, directly under the responsibility of, and supported by, our Engels Group management.
Key points:
- Collaboration with permanent, highly qualified and ISO certified suppliers so that the physical quality of the delivered product is assured.
- Checks at the location of new suppliers and suppliers with quality problems to prevent complaints instead of solving them.
- Monitoring the production process. Each internal production order is signed off, scanned and archived by the person responsible. We strive for total traceability. Every product is checked in the warehouse upon delivery and before delivery.
- Measuring our performance. We track lead times, error rates, product availability so that we can promise reliable delivery times and feel confident that our customers will always be satisfied, or better yet pleasantly surprised, when they receive our delivery.

ISO 14001 quality standard
At Engels, we believe the future of our planet and future generations to be of great importance. Quality and sustainability are two of our core values.
Recycling statement
Engels Group complies with the "cradle to cradle" philosophy. We put reuse (via our outlet-website) on the 1st and recycling on the 2nd place. With every delivery of crates, pallets or pallet boxes, Engels guarantees to repurchase if the customer wishes so.
Our Engels E-Line alternative
The used plastic bins, pallets and pallet boxes we take back are, if they are no longer fit for selling, shredded. We take care that the different types of plastic do not mix, to preserve their unique properties. After shredding, the materials are processed into granulates in a compounder. These "second life" granulates we use to produce the E-Line version of our products. When possible, we mix with post consumer recycled plastic, so we also have an impact on the ecological footprint of household waste.
Our E-Line version pallets, palletboxes en bins are easily recognizable: most of them are marked with our E-Line logo printed in green, some are produced with the marking inmould.
