Together for a sustainable future

An integrated system for Quality, Environment and Safety considered as a real department, three certifications for infinite strengths that fully represent the company’s organisational approach.

We are pleased to announce that in March, Gima S.p.A. successfully obtained the UNI EN ISO 45001:2018 certification for Occupational Health and Safety and the UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 certification for Environmental Management, both issued by RINA.

A journey that began in 2023 with the adoption of the integrated management system, which became fully operational in 2024 and has now achieved this important internationally recognized milestone. An added value for our company, which has always paid close attention to these delicate matters. This achievement complements our existing 231 Organizational Model, contributing to a more conscious way of doing business — a source of pride for the territory we love, a “protected” place where people can work and spend their time, and a reliable supplier that brings added value to the customer’s supply chain.
We provide a wide range of subcontracted mechanical processing services: from automatic turning to die design and stamping, from industrial automation to metal accessories for footwear lasts.

 

Overview

Quality management UNI EN ISO 9001:2015

A boast since 1997, but always with a modern point of view and innovation that has never stopped. In addition to traditional measuring methods, Gima S.p.A. uses three-dimensional numerical control instruments and stations in its production cycle, both with mechanical contact and laser reading with automatic loading for 100% in-line inspection. All this is integrated with a data storage and management system, collected by more than 20 terminals located within the 2 plants. For total process and product traceability.

 

Environment UNI EN ISO 14001:2015

Gima S.p.A. has always been attentive to compliance with environmental regulations, with a view to continuous improvement in terms of energy saving, sustainable development, waste reduction and environmental impact. Gima S.p.A.’s “Green Policy” consists in considering the environment as one of the company’s fundamental “customers”, outlining a policy made up of concrete actions and objectives, achievable through the implementation of an Environmental Management System that complies with the requirements of the standard and is integrated with other systems.

 

Health and safety UNI EN ISO 45001:2018

Gima S.p.A through continually increasing investments and an integrated Health and Safety Management System that complies with regulations, intends to maintain its commitment to important aspects such as Health and Safety in the workplace at a constantly high level, consolidating its competitiveness thanks to a responsible and correct attitude. We believe that protecting people’s health and safety, before being a legal obligation, is a moral duty and an objective that all organisations should pursue, convinced that living in a safe, healthy and clean working environment is an essential element for working well, with greater satisfaction and well-being.

 

Certifications, what are they?

ISO certifications are certificates issued by authorised and independent bodies demonstrating that the company meets the requirements of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). Recognised internationally, they provide the stakeholders involved with proof that the company adheres to established practices, researched and approved by experts, through the adoption of a management system.

There are different types of certifications, one for each fundamental aspect covered, but the approach is the same, namely to manage processes effectively and aim for continuous improvement.

 

Benefits:

ISO certifications offer companies that adopt them countless advantages, both for internal management and in the eyes of the market, guaranteeing standardised and globally recognised performance levels:

• Reliability: Synonymous with reliability, ISO certification represents excellence. Having a certified company as a partner means relying on high quality standards.
• Continuous improvement: ISO certifications demonstrate a dynamic organisation that strives for excellence, improving processes and services, and managing them efficiently.
• High production standards: Relying on ISO certified companies means having a partner that stands out for productivity and quality, adopting standardised protocols, guidelines and best practices aimed at process optimisation.
• Competitiveness: ISO certification also offers benefits in terms of competitiveness, providing an additional guarantee for the company that adopts it, an advantage in terms of the market, attesting to an efficient and trustworthy reality.

Therefore, choosing to systematically comply with these standards means not only making your company more efficient from an organisational and production point of view, but also improving its positioning in the market in which you operate.
