Our products
Ecodesign
38.07% of our carbon footprint is generated in the manufacturing process of our products. This fact presents us with another challenge: to continuously improve our process to reduce emissions. Our main strategy focuses on eco-design, which we incorporate throughout the manufacturing process of our products. This involves careful selection of materials, as well as reducing the weight or number of components. Additionally, we are committed to designing products that are durable and repairable, among other measures.
Quality and Measurement
Ensuring the quality of our products is another of our pillars. Quality control is present at all stages of production of our collections. From conceptualization and design to functionality and reliability testing.
We are guided by the highest quality standards in the industry, complying with the international safety standard EN60598 and the European energy efficiency standard ERP. In addition, we have implemented a Quality Management System based on ISO9001.
