Qualitymanagement & Environmental Management

At Gustav Gerster GmbH & Co. KG, quality is a core principle that is deeply embedded in every area of our company – from product development and manufacturing to customer service. For over 140 years, our company, based in Biberach an der Riß, has stood for reliability, innovation, and responsible action. Our goal is to combine the highest product quality with economic efficiency and ecological responsibility.

An integral part of our business operations is a systematically structured management system that complies with the international standards ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management). These certifications confirm our consistent commitment to quality and sustainability – while also providing our employees, customers, and business partners with guidance and assurance.

At the core of our quality management are structured, clearly defined processes that are regularly audited and continuously improved. This ensures that our products meet the highest standards and that our workflows are transparent, efficient, and reproducible. Through internal training and intensive communication between departments, we promote a strong quality culture throughout the entire company.

Environmental management also holds great importance for us. We do not see sustainability as an additional goal but as an integral part of our corporate strategy. Our approach to natural resources is characterized by conscious and responsible actions. This applies to the use of raw materials and energy as well as the reduction of emissions and waste.

Key environmental aspects such as electricity, oil, and gas consumption are regularly recorded, analyzed, and evaluated. From this, we derive concrete measures to reduce our environmental impact – for example, through investments in modern, energy-efficient technologies, targeted expansion of renewable energies, or optimization of production and logistics processes. Additionally, we focus on strict waste separation, environmentally conscious supply chains, and the promotion of the circular economy.

Our employees receive regular training in quality and environmental management so they can actively contribute to achieving our goals. We continuously monitor the effectiveness of all measures using measurable key performance indicators.

We see it as our responsibility to balance a efficient, future-proof production with ecological and social aspects. This also means that we expect our suppliers and partners to share the same understanding of quality, environmental responsibility, and ethical conduct – and actively involve them in our sustainability strategy.
