Spanish certification authority Asociación Española de Normalización y Certificación (Aenor) has awarded steelmaker Alfonso Gallardo (AG) for developing high-quality standards.
The company’s plant in Jerez de los Caballeros in Badajoz achieved international standards ISO 9001, ISO 50001 and ISO 14001 after audits evaluated performance on sustainable, environmental and energy efficiency criteria, Kallanish notes.
“The certification is a confirmation of AG’s continued commitment to operational excellence and its dedication to meeting the highest international standards in all areas of its business,” says the company’s flat steel unit’s general director, Orlando Ribeiro.
The ISO 9001 standard recognises excellence in quality management, ensuring that products and services consistently meet customer expectations. The ISO 14001 standard validates the company’s efforts in environmental management, guaranteeing that all operations are carried out sustainably. ISO 50001 highlights Alfonso Gallardo’s commitment to energy efficiency, promoting responsible practices that reduce energy consumption and minimise environmental impact.
Gallardo Balboa belongs to Spain-based CL Grupo Industrial’s steel unit together with Siderúrgica Balboa, Ferromallas, Galvacolor, Corrugados Getafe, Lasaomallas, Marceliano Martín and Steel Solaris. The company’s plant in Jerez de los Caballeros re-rolls galvanised and pre-painted coils, and manufactures welded pipes, ribbons, strips and profiles.
