Glutton®, the expert in electric street cleaning equipment: a commitment that is underlined by a double ISO certification

With more than three decades of experience in urban cleaning, Glutton® is passionate about the future of urban spaces and aware of its responsibility towards the environment and future generations.

On 20 August 2024, Glutton® passed a major milestone when it obtained double ISO certification, underlining its commitment to quality and the environment.

This double label, submitted by Josse Balthasar representing the SGS certification body, shows that the company is now compliant with the international standards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. 

Together with their entire teams, Christian Lange (CEO), Olivier Meulemans (Operations Manager) and Simon Culot (ISO Officer) officially received the certifications, underlining the commitment to operational excellence and supported by a clear vision for the future of the company.  

ISO certification: the path of excellence for Glutton®, the specialist in street cleaning equipment

Glutton® has built its reputation as a global leader on two major pillars: quality and innovation.

Its focus on sustainable development led to the construction of a new 7000 m2 ultra-modern and eco-friendly production site.  

Customer expectations never stop growing: on time deliveries, shorter waiting times, competitive prices, and most importantly the highest quality.

To meet these challenges, Glutton® is constantly optimising its production processes and information flows.

There are several levers at our disposal to achieve operational excellence:

• Guaranteeing safety,
• Adopting lean manufacturing as a way of perfecting the way production is organised,
• Reducing the cost of non-quality,
• Strengthening overall quality and internal processes.

Every process is evaluated in detail and adapted. New mechanisms are put in place to improve communication between departments and boost performance even further.

SGS: A trusted partner for ISO certification

For its ISO audits, Glutton® used SGS, a global expert in inspection, testing and certification.

These rigorous audits established the maturity of our quality management system and our environmental practices.

For Glutton®, this certification is not just about recognition; it’s a solid base for sustainable growth that allows for healthy commercial development.

A collaborative effort

Preparing for this double certification involved everyone working at Glutton®. Their commitment meant that the high requirements of the ISO standard could be met and guarantees that the company moves forward in a continuous cycle of improvement.

In addition, ISO 14001 certification underlines Glutton®’s commitment to sustainability and responsible resource management. It imposes strict criteria in terms of environmental management, helping to reduce the environmental footprint while respecting the regulations in force.  

The aim of Glutton®’s environmental approach is to

• Meet the legal and environmental requirements that apply to our sector.
• Protect the environment by preventing all forms of pollution through analyses of environmental impacts.
• Promote environmental protection with products that have a low ecological impact.
