Quality
Delivering unrivalled quality
Quality is at the forefront of our objectives at BPL, backed by a fully accredited management system and our own metrology.
Our approach
Continual improvement, verified
Continual improvement led us to restructure our quality management system in 2014, alongside the introduction of a new ERP system. Today we hold accreditation for quality, environmental and health and safety management, plus the automotive and aerospace standards our customers rely on.
We verify all of our own work, and other people's, on our own Hexagon CMM with a laser scanning head, and produce all the documentation that goes with it. Inspection is also available as a mobile service using a laser scanning arm.
