Quality Management System
For more than 50 years now, Galco has focussed on delivering quality and consistency to our clients on time and within budget. The Directors and Senior Management are committed to making sure that the Galco quality objectives are met by the operation and maintenance of Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety Management Systems; ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. The company constantly monitors its quality performance and implements improvements where possible.
When it comes to Paint Application, the highest possible quality is what we strive for. Each step in the process is supervised and controlled by our competent and trained staff. Each stage of the application process is carefully examined to ensure the highest quality finish is achieved.
All material is processed in accordance with the ASFP guidance document 16, and we are happy to issue certificates of conformance on demand. All of our painted products are fully checked in line with our Quality Management System ISO 9001: 2015 before being dispatched to ensure a high-quality service is undertaken each and every time.
We invite external Paint Inspectors to come in and carry out a review of our systems at any time.
