Managementsystem Certification at Optibelt

Certified quality management


The product and service quality at Optibelt is outstanding. This has been continuously confirmed by TÜV Nord Hannover during regular recertifications for the entire Arntz Optibelt Group.

The adaptation to the current quality management standard IATF 16949:2016 was not only carried out at the main site in Höxter, but also at the production sites Optibelt Produktions GmbH in Bad Blankenburg, Optibelt Power Transmission (Taicang) Ltd. in Taicang/China and at the S.C. Optibelt Power Transmission S.R.L. plant in Tautii Magheraus, Romania. The ISO 9001 standard applies almost group-wide.

Optibelt thus guarantees consistently high product and service quality across all production sites and sales companies. One example of this is the drive belts that we sell worldwide. These are consistently manufactured on technologically advanced special machines.

Certified environmental management


The Optibelt Group was awarded environmental certification in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001 around 20 years ago. Even at that time, we were able to demonstrate that we operate in accordance with a globally recognized environmental management standard. This standard has been continuously expanded and deepened over the years, which is why our environmental management systems are still certified today.

The implementation of this environmental management system enables us to better record environmental aspects, reduce risks, ensure compliance with environmental regulations and strengthen environmental awareness within the organization. It makes a significant contribution to firmly anchoring environmental responsibility and sustainability in our corporate culture.

Certified energy management


Optibelt has received certification in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 50001 standard for the implementation of the energy management system at its German production sites. This certification proves that decisive prerequisites and measures for the sustainable use of energy resources have been established in the company.

Our aim is to continuously improve energy use, energy consumption and energy efficiency. We do this by systematically making energy flows transparent and identifying potential savings. These measures help to lower energy costs and further reduce environmental pollution. In this way, Optibelt will continue to make a significant contribution to environmental and climate protection in the region.

Certified occupational health and safety management


Optibelt attaches great importance to its employees and so it is a matter of course for us to protect them and to continuously develop occupational health and safety. Our occupational health and safety management system has already been certified in accordance with the ISO 45001 standard at one location. The German sites will follow next, initially with the BG seal of approval.
