Quality and safety

Not a manual, but a mentality

Foundation

The terms quality and safety are inextricably linked at RIJKERS. Together they form the foundation of our company and the systems we develop.

Quality

In our view, quality is the mentality that ensures that everything we do is performed according to the strict quality requirements that we – together with our clients – set for the job.

These requirements are first and foremost functional in nature: do our systems and their components have the properties and characteristics to meet the pre-determined standards? We carefully record these requirements and monitor them with extremely closely. But the requirements can sometimes also be intangible. After all, it's not only about meeting your expectations, but also exceeding them.

Safety

In our view, safety is the mentality that ensures that everything we do is performed according to the strict safety requirements that we – together with our clients – set for the job. 

On the one hand it's about the safety of our employees, suppliers and customers; the machines we work with must be safe above all else. On the other, it's about food safety; absolutely essential in the food processing industry.

Certifications and qualifications

It's not just our mentality that distinguishes us from others. We have all the expertise, certificates and qualifications to ensure the highest quality and safety. Moreover, two dedicated staff members monitor our compliance.
