Quality
Quality serving the system
A structuring tool for improvement
Our 3 Pillars: Iso 9001, Continuous Improvement, the Environment
Our Quality approach is based on 3 fundamental pillars: a quality system compliant with the Iso9001 version 2015 standard, a pragmatic continuous improvement that concerns each department of the company and is managed at the top management level, an environmental approach that minimizes the environmental impact of the operation of the company.
Without it, we would not be able to work with technical materials for applications with multiple requirements: precision, appearance, functionality, compliance with standards, recyclability, compostability.
Our experience in the automotive industry over the past 20 years has strengthened our management of quality processes. Orcaplast has been certified Iso 9001 since 1996, and has moved to Iso 9001 2015 certification in 2017.
Our Quality Vision
Operational and pragmatic quality
In synergy with development
Our Quality department is focused on the control and validation of parts, both in the manufacturing phases, but also in the development and industrialization phases, in a close partnership with the Design Department.
It is also at the service of our customers to quickly resolve, in an open partnership, the industrial problems that may occur.
And the Quality department is a pilot for continuous improvement projects. It also ensures regulatory monitoring to ensure that our products comply with the regulations.
Our control equipment, tests, and metrology (3D control, compression traction, climatic chamber, colorimeter, etc.) accompany us both in the development and production phases, to ensure the conformity of your parts with specifications. We are equipped for some productions with AI driven control camera.
Quality is at the centre of our activities. We ensure complete traceability from the input of the raw material to the delivery of the finished part, combined with continuous control of our production processes.
The materials used
Technical, polymeric, elastomeric, or recycled materials
One material for each application
Standard or high-tech material
Our fields of activity and our customers lead us to work all the large families of polymers and elastomers.
Self-extinguishing, anti-UV-treated, talc-charged, fibreglass-laden materials adapt to technical requirements and the most demanding environments. Partners of the major polymer producers, we are able to determine for you the right material for the right application.
We control the use of additives such as inflating or anti-reassure agents that allow large parts to be made.
We make for you the coloring of the material according to the standards RAL, Pantone, or samples provided by you.
We are working on the substitution of metal with high-tech plastics such as PPS or PPO, which allow to achieve high dimensional precision and high-level mechanical properties.
We comply with the requirements of REACH and ROHS regulations for the use of chemicals.
Environnement
Eco-responsible plastics
Our environmental approach
Beyond the company’s environmental approach to minimise its carbon footprint, we integrate a comprehensive approach to recycling all our plastic waste into our internal processes.
We are also developing the use of recycled plastics such as PCR (post consumer recycled), PIR (post industrial recycled), and bio-sourced and biodegradable or compostable plastics.
