Environmental awareness & Quality standards
Reduce, re-use, recycle
The Castolin Eutectic philosophy to conserve the earth's precious resources and give added value to old and worn parts is acknowledged worldwide. In our production facilities we have programs to reduce our environmental impact, and have just launched the GreenBraz range of products that are cadmium and boric acid free. We were also one of the first welding companies to market exhaust equipment for welding. As a pioneer in this area, Castolin Eutectic has created the Conservationist of the Year Award in 1973.
All our production is ISO 9001:2000 certified. To provide you with an outstanding quality of repairs we also collaborate closely with professional institutes as TÜV and the Welding Association. In many workshops, welders are SCC certified.
