Gears Grindel continues to invest to meet the demand of gears and grooved axes of precision
In the 1990s it began a process of diversification in order to meet the challenge of technological changes and changes in the market. Diversification was then understood from a double point of view. On the one hand, that of the sectors to which the gears will be directed. On the other, a diversification of markets, which led to an important process of internationalization. Data, leave no doubt. If in 1990 Grindel exported only 8 percent of its production, in the year 2004 already reached a percentage of exports amounting to 51 per cent of its total production.
Currently, Grindel is a dynamic company dedicated to the production of nuts and bolts of high quality and accuracy, with a clear specialization in the production of gears and shafts rectified estríados, always according to the plans and specifications of their customers.
In general terms, Grindel manufactures straight and Helical cylindrical gears, grooved shafts and gears with internal straight teeth. Usually in small and medium-sized series.
Applications that target products of Grindel are diverse, but include mechanisms of elevation, industrial vehicles, machinery for public works, pumps, compressors, gearboxes and machine tool sectors. In all of them are companies of international renown.
More investment in 2007
Disbursements to take shape in the acquisition of a shaper of last generation, team that will make it possible to extend the range of products, as well as the capacity of manufacturing. But the new hobbing not only investment will be, but it will also complement the Park of machinery with the successive introduction of a glider, a grinding machine for grinding of interiors and various gear, among other teams.
You can also stand out the strategy of continuous improvement, adopted by the Gipuzkoan company, which aims to optimise delivery times, as well as improving its competitive position against the countries of the East.
The planned actions will also contribute to consolidate in foreign markets that are already present, where allocated 50 per cent of its production. These countries are Sweden, Germany, Denmark, United Kingdom and France. At the same time, they will serve as base to increase its turnover at the end of the year around 10 per cent.
Certifications
In regards to the environmental field, producing gears society has the certification ISO 14001: 2004 granted by Aenor, and has renewed ISO 9001: 2000. Possession of both approvals certifies your bet by the introduction of quality systems.
