CASE STUDY: GK Systems Ltd

 

Painting a Green Future

 

GK Systems Ltd, the leading powder coater of fenestrations in Ireland , chose IMSM to guide them through the ISO 14001 certification process because of their experience and particular expertise with this standard.

Jane Hopper, Managing Director said, “We decided to pursue ISO 14001 because of my own personal view of environmental issues and those associated with industry. The general public seems to affiliate industry with environmental damage and in general the opposite is actually true. In the UK , industry creates less pollution per head than the general public. IMSM were recommended to us and they made the whole process very clear, simple and easy to understand. ”

Established in 1982, GK Systems Ltd specialises in the environmentally friendly field of quality powder paint finishing to aluminium, galvanised and mild steel substrates for the construction industry. The company has built up an excellent reputation for offering extremely high levels of service to both large and small customers alike.

GK Systems has invested in the latest technology, installing three powder coating lines, along with shot blasting facilities and inventing their own environmental formula for paint stripping within a new 25,000 sq ft factory in Antrim.

The company's policy is to provide quality and service to the highest standard at competitive prices, ensuring that the principles of “right first time” and “continuous improvements” are implemented within staff activities. The highly experienced team of employees has a personal integrity to maintain the quality and standard of work that has ensured GK Systems' status as the market leader in its field.

Working to ISO 14001 helps to ensure that the above aims are met in addition to preventing adverse effects to the surrounding environment.

Jane continued, “I enjoy the knowledge and peace of mind that all my staff and employees work hard to ensure that we do everything possible to limit any environmental damage and, by best working practices, we have saved money by attaining ISO 14001. Like all small businesses, we did not have extra staff to wade through the standard and try to implement it ourselves. IMSM's expertise and knowledge saved the company time and money and I would recommend them to anyone wishing to pursue ISO certification.”
